40 years ago this month, Simple Minds continued their Once Upon a Time Tour across Europe, following the major commercial success of the album.
"Certain records when you’re asked to look back, you get an instant emotion: some you have a little wince and there are others where the instant reaction is to bring a smile to your face, and I have that with Once Upon A Time. It was the album we wanted, it was the album we felt we needed. It was such a pleasure to do. When we actually got down to recording and working with Jimmy and Bob, it was summer in America and every day the stuff coming out of the speakers sounded great. When you look back now it’s only eight tracks so it’s probably the most compact record we made." - Jim
