Description: Criminally underrated 7th release from Simple Minds. Disc is in excellent condition with very minor surface marks. Plays perfectly. Usual shelf wear to case. Inserts excellent except for a little spotting in the middle of the front lyrics fold. A solid copy of the 1st American 1985 release, made in Japan. TRACK LISTING 01. Once Upon A Time (5.44) 02. All The Things She Said (4.16) 03. Ghost Dancing (4.46) 04. Alive & Kicking (5.25) 05. Oh Jungleland (5.12) 06. I Wish You Were Here (4.42) 07. Sanctify Yourself (5.02) 08. Come A Long Way (5.08) Found this: The 1985 release Once Upon a Time captured the heart-wrenching excitement found in bands such as U2. They were now one of the biggest names in music, and Jim Kerr's thirsting vocals became the band's signature. Once Upon a Time, featuring producer Jimmy Iovine, showcased more of a guitar-driven sound. The band's heavy synth pop beats had relaxed a bit and Charlie Burchill's charming playing style was most noticeable. Also enlisting the choir-like beauty of Robin Clark, Simple Minds' popularity was expounded on songs such as "Alive & Kicking" and "Sanctify Yourself." This album was one of their best, most likely leading the pack in the band's album roster, because it exuded raw energy and solid composition not entirely captured on previous albums.
