DESCRIPTION

TRACK LIST

Formed in Glasgow in 1977, and later becoming best known internationally for the song ‘Don't You (Forget About Me)’ in 1985 (which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States) and the UK number one single "Belfast Child" in 1989, Simple Minds have achieved 24 top 40 singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 23 top 40 albums on the UK Albums Chart, including five number one albums. Having sold more than 60 million records worldwide, and remaining the most commercially successful Scottish band of the 1980s, Simple Minds have also had chart success in the United States, Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy and New Zealand. Despite various personnel changes, they continue to record and tour. 
The band released four albums between 1979 and 1981, by which time they had quit their maiden label Arista and signed with Virgin. In February 1982, the band moved into London’s Townhouse Studios for recording sessions with producer Peter Walsh. The band told Walsh they wanted their new album to represent their live sound, so Walsh decided to record it as a live studio set. ‘Promised You a Miracle’ was released in April 1982 and became Simple Minds’ first Top 20 single in the UK, peaking at No. 13. New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) was released in September 1982. The album was a commercial breakthrough, spending 53 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at No. 3 in October 1982.
