also follow suit. Capitalising on the exposure from the heavy duty media

Bros simultaneously. More excitingly the campaign kicks off firstly on Monday
10th of December when exclusively Vodafone shops in Italy will make available
"Live and Rare" a new 14-track album compilation from Simple Minds. The album

from Simple Minds over the years. More of a bonus, the set will include some
previously unreleased studio recordings including, among them will be "White
Light/White Heat' and "Dirty Old Town" both of which were recorded most recently
in Glasgow prior to the current tour. Interestestingly the album will also
feature a new rerecord of Bowie's The Man who sold The World, which depending on
