    This is a nice mid 80's album by Simple Minds and production is time correct, but nothing new. The sound and pressing are good too, probablly all digital, but not bad sounding.

      Love this album, the energy & lyrics are fantastic... Maybe to much leaving the New Wave, but this is forgiven

        This album was the beginning of the end of a promising UK New Wave Band. As a die hard Simple Minds fan until that day of release I was shocked by the pathetic attitude the band decided to go for. I me listening to it in the record shop totally disapointed. They were like a beautiful girl returning from a style consultancy totally ugly
