Tracklisting & More Information
Simple Minds present 40: The Best Of 1979-2019, a new double vinyl LP compilation album that covers all 40 years of the band's now legendary recording career. It captures their early experimentation, crossover chart successes, right up to their new imperial phase represented by songs from 2015's Big Music and 2018's Walk Between Worlds, which was their highest chart success in over 20 years, charting at No. 4 in the U.K..
Compiled in conjunction with the band, 40: The Best Of 1979-2019 documents the very best of Simple Minds extensive catalog. It is a comprehensive overview of 40 years of one of Britain's most successful bands, taking in the innovative sheen of "Promised You A Miracle" and "Glittering Prize," the anthemic sweep of "Waterfront" and "Sanctify Yourself," the firebrand strand of "Belfast Child" and "Mandela Day," the colossus that is "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and "Alive & Kicking," and bringing things right up to date with the inclusion of a new track: a cover of King Creosote's 2014 Song, "For One Night Only."
