Cherry Pop releases a new 4 CD box set entitled ‘Love Blonde – The RAK Years’ today. It is the most comprehensive collection of Kim’s RAK output ever assembled. Boasting 50 tracks across four CD’s, it brings together three classic studio albums, Kim Wilde, Select and Catch as Catch Can, each remastered and expanded with bonus tracks, plus an exclusive new remix album called Special Disco Mixes. This remix album features 12” versions of ten singles, extended and reinvented in the spirit of the Eighties. Six of these mixes have been newly commissioned especially for this package.

Presented in a stunning lift-off lid box with special print finish, each album in this package is housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring the original vinyl artwork. The 48-page booklet features lyrics, a RAK discography, rare and previously unseen photos and new sleeve notes written by Kim Wilde expert Marcel Rijs.
