The First Singles Box
The First Singles Box (Polydor 986 633 8) was released in the UK in April 2004. In contrast to the nearly simultaneous US release of Then And Now1964-2004 (see Then And Now in Compilations), the UK got a box set of 12 CD singles, with copies of rare pictures sleeves and record labels from around the world. Also included was a 16-page book with the original press reviews of the singles. The twelfth CD was the new recordings ‘Real Good-Looking Boy’ and O’Old red Wine’. Polydor also issuedThe First Singles Box as a 7″ vinyl edition (Polydor 986 644 7).
