Love Blonde: The RAK Years features three studio albums along with a bonus CD of remixes. Those records are Kim Wilde (1981), Select (1982) and Catch as Catch Can (1983), each remastered and expanded with bonus tracks, plus a disc of ‘Special Disco Mixes’. The bonus tracks don’t include everything previously issued on individual album releases. For example there was a 2CD+DVD deluxe of Kim Wilde in 2020 and the four bonus audio tracks (not including the disc of remixes) were ‘Shane’, ‘Boys’, ‘Water on Glass 7″ Version’ and ‘Tuning In Tuning On 7″ Version’. The two seven-inch versions are missing here, but you do get ‘He Will Be There’. Similarly, ‘Rain On’ is a new bonus track on Catch As Catch Can, but the original 7″ and 12″ Versions of ‘Love Blonde’ and the Nile Rodgers and instrumental mixes of ‘Dancing in the Dark’ are not included. There are new remixes of both songs on CD 4, however. This final disc includes 10 remixes, none of which were issued at the time and six of which are brand new to this box set including ‘Water On Glass [Project K Soundtrack]’ and ‘House Of Salome [Luke Mornay Mix Of The Seven Veils]’.
