Shoot, wish I still had the vinyl of this - lost them all when I divorced. I got the kids, wife got the record collection - damn!

I too love Joy Division, but I cannot for the life of me think why all of Simple Mind's early work has been cancelled out by the bombastic and embarrassing later material from 1985 onwards?!

Great album another band that suffered from success and stopped writing edgy music........I don't rate U2 since War either. Not that they aren't brilliant, its just the hard raw music gave way to massaged record company engineering........

you all hear about cures pornography about unknown pleasure and never for simple minds . why is that ? were they too hard to swallow ?
I totally agree " Dont think Simple Minds have ever got thr credit they deserve for their early stuff..most people only remember the more bombastic stuff of the late 80s"
YOU TUBE brings it all back with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Totally the best....I mean "ruudzwart's" comment above is true...they should have stopped by 1984...Kerr had serious delusions of grandeur...ALL there live performances started becoming a joke, with Kerr ad-libbing his own songs turning them into pseudo stadium anthems...the early tracks were loud, but had a certain subtlety to them...What a demise of a once truly great band that was fashionable as they came too!..Oh to the Futurist groups I grew up listening to...I wish they all retired then!
