1981
Original vinyl version
A fine album which was only 2 releases away from their "Sgt Pepper" (excuse the much overused analogy!)... New Gold Dream.
Simple Minds to me have 3 epochs. 1- Pre New Gold Dream. 2- New Gold Dream and Sparkle In the Rain 3- everything else.... epoch 2 being the best. Epoch 1 has plenty of good listening and material to make you think (The American).
As a side point Derek Forbes was voted "the best bass player in the world" which I can come close to agreeing with as long as I dont think too long about Mick Karn! Just sayin'.....
