Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI is a comprehensive box set by English band Dead or Alive, released on both 17CD/2DVD and 10LP versions, on October 28, 2016. The set compiles the band's seven studio albums, from Sophisticated Boom Boom (1984) to Fragile (2000), and includes the remix albums Rip It Up (1987), Nude: Remade Remodelled (1989) and Unbreakable: The Fragile Remixes (2001). Variants of both the CD/DVD and LP sets were sold on Amazon with limited edition exclusivities. The CD/DVD edition came with a signed print by band frontman Pete Burns, limited to 750 units, and the LP version came with a bonus 10" vinyl EP including tracks previously unreleased on the format. Along with the previously released material compiled, the CD/DVD set is noteworthy for the inclusion of 12 previously unreleased tracks in the Dead or Alive discography, including, but not limited to, "Fan The Flame" featuring German singer Gina X, "The Art", a Pete Burns solo track produced by The Dirty Disco, and a full concert recording from the Youthquake Tour, recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in July 1985. With the release of the Sophisticated Boom Box, Nude: Remade Remodelled (1989), Fan The Flame (Part 1) (1990), Nukleopatra (1995), Fragile (2000) and Unbreakable: The Fragile Remixes (2001) were given their debut UK releases, with all but Nukleopatra previously only being available in Japan. The vinyl set marked the first time that the post-Nude (1988) albums were released on the format, in any territory. The collection was the last Dead or Alive release Burns contributed to before his death in October 2016, 5 days before the set's release. This would also be the final release drummer/producer Steve Coy would contribute to before his death in May 2018. Background Prior to the Sophisticated Boom Box, Dead or Alive had released three greatest hits collections, Rip It Up (1987), Evolution: The Hits (2003) and That's The Way I Like It: The Best of Dead or Alive (2010), all on Epic/Sony Records. All three were composed of the band's UK singles, with only Evolution including the band's '90s and 2000s output. Unlike the aforementioned compilations, Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI was the first collection to comprehensively compile the Dead or Alive discography, including Pete Burns' solo material, however, excluding all material from earlier than Sophisticated Boom Boom (1984), the pre-Epic period. The set includes the UK number one "You Spin Me Round (Like
