Notes
The specially priced album "Sister Feelings Call" will complete your Simple Minds collection
Almost identical to release Simple Minds - Sons And Fascination but some track times are different, and there are no mentions of Polygram as distributor or otherwise on the back cover or on the labels.
The "all rights" text around the perimeter of the labels is also different. The last digits of the matrix / runout on side B are scratched out.

Reviews
Edited 2 years agoOne of my all-time favourite albums, and one of my top two for Simple Minds (the other being New Gold Dreams). This is an excellent example of the UK new wave from the early 80's.
