RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON VIRGIN 1985 Virgin 207 350 made in Germany with lyric inner sleeve. Vinyl VG+. Cover VG+. Simple Minds gained belated US chart success with "(Don't You) Forget About Me" and a distinctly transatlantic burr covered this, the ensuing album. Producers Jimmy Iovine and Bob Clearmountain sculpted an unambiguous sound where crowd-pleasing anthems invoked a genuine excitement. Loud, forthright and shorn of subtlety, ONCE UPON A TIME shows the group's core trio - Jim Kerr (vocals), Charlie Burchill (guitar) and Mick McNeil (keyboards) - working together with genuine empathy, while a revamped rhythm section underpins the material with sinewy precision. They combine to create what many consider to be Simple Minds' most exciting and exhilarating release. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Minds Tracklist 1. Once Upon A Time 2.
