Yesterday saw the release of the ‘new’ Sparkle In The Rain (belated) 40th anniversary box set release. You can see how it looks with this unboxing video by Paul Sinclair of Super Deluxe Edition. Even Paul was saying ‘But £75? Yikes!’ I actually would like it now I’ve seen the unboxing, but I’ll bide my…
