"Sweat In Bullet" is very good indeed (thank you, Ian Dury). I just love "Thirty Frames A Second" - perverse, that. Really got into "Reel to Real Cacaphony" - "Shelter In A Suitcase", eh, Jimmy? "Empires and Dance" had some inspired moments too - despite their trying too hard to be obscure - and not really succeeding. I didn't care all that much for the debut SM album, but I like it just fine right now (nod to the Incredible String Band, will ye?). We heckled the band, "Oy, Jimmy! Come have a drink with us! Will ye?" - he paused and said only: "OK". a short time after this album came out - they played at The Whisky on Sunset Blvd., in Hollywood. ![]() How many people noticed that this album was produced by Steve Hillage of Khan, Gong etc.? This was the 80's, so it was after Gong, but before Steve was re-born as "777" or "System 7" - how many people who buy those CD's know that Steve H has a past? Or that he's likely now an 'old hippie'? ![]() And it looks fantastic, too - many thanks to Malcolm Garratt of Assorted Images (Hi, Norman!). The prize of the Simple Minds catalogue - this edition of the CD 'rights a wrong' - when it was initially made available on CD, some of th "Sister Feelings Call" songs were missing (2 of them, as I recall) - well, all 15 songs are here - in a reproduction 'little paper album cover CD' from Europe.
