"Belfast child" - Simple Minds

As we said, #TOTP producer Paul Ciani wanted to play the entire top 40 in 28 minutes, so there are some brutal edits. Here, he leaves the song more instrumental than Jim Kerr.

Not the band's finest six minutes, and - with "Biko" on the flip - it's not even the strongest song on the single.

#NowPlaying: #SimpleMinds - Celebration

I was always on the lookout for Simple Minds' sophomore album Real To Real Cacophony but I could never find it on CD. (Never did: resorted to Discogs...) Closest I came was this 2CD collection of Sons And Fascination with Celebration, the latter compiling, frankly, the worst tracks of their debut with some of RTRC. They showed I had to get the album as quickly as possible: it's so much better than Life In A Day!
