このBox Setには180g重量盤LP、「Relax」「Two Tribes」「The Power of Love」の未発表Remixなどを収めた10inch Single(3枚)、Music VideoやAlbum収録曲の5.1mixを収めたDVD、Remix音源を収めたカセットテープ、48Pageのハードカバー本、Downloadカードなどを収納しているとの事です。
今どきLPレコードやカセットテープが入っていても困ってしまいますね。
でも、LPレコードはダイナミックレンジの広さから、かなり復活してきているみたいですが。
Frankie Goes To Hollywoodは何度か再結成を模索したもの、いずれも部分的な形に留まり完全な形での再結成は果たせていません。
ただ、2004年11月にProducerのTrevor Horn(元Buggles,Yes,Art of Noise)の25周年記念コンサート一で、VocalとGuitarを除くメンバーが集まって「Welcome To The Pleasuredome」「Two Tribes」「Relax」を演奏していました。

一番近いのは当然「Division Bell」ですが、Syd Barrettに捧げた「Wish You Were Here」を感じさせる曲も多く入っています。他にも「Atom Heart Mother」の「Summer '68」を連想させる「Autum '68」や「Meddle」の「One of These Days」や「Echoes」を感じさせる曲、「The Wall」の「Run Like Hell」を感じさせる曲など、随所にPINK FLOYDらしさが散りばめられています。
David Bowieは2004年にConcert Tour中に心臓発作で倒れ、その後一切音沙汰が無くなっていたため引退したものと見られていました。 しかし、2013年の1月8日の66歳の誕生日に突然新曲「Where Are We Now? 」を発表しiTunes Storeで配信を開始。
そして2013年3月に10年ぶりのNew Album「The Next Day」を発売すると発表し世界を驚かせました。
「Where Are We Now? 」は全世界119カ国のiTunes Storeにて一斉配信開始され、リリースから24時間で27カ国のiTunesチャート1位になったと言われています。
2013年1月末に小林克也の「ベストヒットUSA」でも放送され、哀愁に満ちたバラードで結構感動的な曲でした。

Spandau Balletは、80年代のElectro Pops系のグループですが、Tears for Fearsもどちらもイギリスのグループで、Pet Shop BoysやDuran Duran等も活動を続けているんですよね。そう言えばLimahlが居たKajagoogooも2008年にOriginal Memberで再結成しています。更にRick Astleyが11月12,13,15日に来日公演を行っていました。みんな息が長いですね。
プログレはイギリスがメインで、再結成や活動を続けているグループが数多くありますし、Level42やShakatakなどのBritish Jazz Funk Groupも現役で活動を続けています。
British Rock系でもDeep Purpleが活動を続けていて、Led ZeppelinがDeluxe EditionのCD再発。Queenは11月12日にFreddie Mercuryが歌う新曲3曲を含むBest Albumを発売しており、MichaelJacksonとの幻のDuet曲「There Must Be More to Life Than This(生命の証)」が話題となっていました。
