Good cover, but I think the original is more inspired - more edgy. I love simple minds, but they're better doing their own stuff ... Don't you Forget About Me is one of my alltime favorites.
this cover complements the calls original..the guitar on this song was a higher pitch then the calls version..thanks simple minds for covering this song.
In my opinion, this is the best track on the lost boys album. So uplifting!! Simple Minds have made it sound like one of their own. Almost sounds like a track from the 'Once upon a time' album.
Another fantastisc cover. Jim still in a good form and finally we can hear the power of the bass.Remember me the times of Derek Forbes. Fantastic Eddie Forbes.
Top track even gets my 5 year old girl Amber bouncing around the house/car when its played. Roll on the album. Moscow Undergound sounds amazing too. Could be one of there best albums yet with the added bonus album of covers, just needs people to get a chance to hear it.
I was not thrilled when Jim Kerr announced another covers album (albeit released as companion to the new album of original material), as Neon Lights was so uninspired and bloodless, but the tracks so far sound excellent and fresh and have that special Simple Minds treatment. So this time I am even looking forward to the covers album :-)
Great stuff, don't know the original but if it's a quarter as good as this, must be something special. Long live Simple Minds and roll on Graffiti Soul and In Search of the Lost Boys, can't wait
Excellent interpretation of the song. Simple Minds make choices of songs to cover that you could just imagine them writing themselves. The sound is classic SM!

Stick to the original - The Call's original has far more edge.

WOW! Andy Jordan you are amazing! Simple Minds and Micheal Been would be proud of you if they saw this.
It sent shivers down my spine!
Roll on Simple Roll on! You found the magic again. This is why we stick by you. It's been a thin 7 years:-)

Did Jim really say to the budda with the sacred word? If so, WTF??? Why change the lyrics, the original was perfect.

"In search of the lost boys" sounds much much better than the poor Neon Lights.
