# Celebrate: The Greatest Hits

Celebrate: The Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released on 25 March 2013. There were three different formats released: a single-disc version for the North American market, a two-disc version, and a three-disc version. The album spans all of their studio albums from 1979's Life in a Day to 2009's Graffiti Soul, which at the time was the latest album Simple Minds released, plus the live version "Promised You a Miracle" from 1987's Live in the City of Light, and new tracks recorded for this compilation: "Stagefright", "Blood Diamonds", and "Broken Glass Park". The 1-disc and 2-disc version come in jewel cases.
The 3-disc version comes in a clam shell box which comes with sleeves for each disc (which represent periods in the band's history), a double-sided poster that includes the album's cover art on one side and the cover art for all of the singles included on this compilation on the other side.
