• Track Listing

There’s nothing simple about the Simple Minds story. They rapidly evolved from gritty post-punk to experimental art-pop in their early days, then took synth-powered tracks to the dance floor before landing on the majestic pop sound that made Jim Kerr and the band major stars. Their recent recordings have sewn all those fragments together in beautiful fashion, and now comes this new anthology celebrating 40 years of Simple Minds: their U.S. hits "Don’t You (Forget About Me)," "Alive and Kicking," "Sanctify Yourself," "See the Lights," the UK hits "Love Song," "Promised You a Miracle," "Glittering Prize," "Someone, Somewhere in Summertime," "Waterfront," "Belfast Child," "See the Lights," "Hypnotized," the new track "For One Night Only" (their King Creosote cover) and more. Those 18 tracks occupy the single CD and double colored vinyl; pick up the 3-CD deluxe edition to also get the UK hits "Life in a Day," "The American," "Speed Your Love to Me," "Up on the Catwalk," "All the Things She Said," "This Is Your Land," "Let There Be Love," acoustic versions of "Glittering Prize," "See the Lights," "Waterfront"…40 tracks for 40 years!
