Simple Minds Vinyl Records

Simple Minds is a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1977. The band originally consisted of frontman Jim Kerr, guitarist Charlie Burchill, drummer Brian McGee, and bassist Derek Forbes. They have gone through several lineup changes over the years, but Kerr and Burchill have remained constants.

The band has released a total of 17 studio albums over the course of their career, with their most successful being 1982's New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84), which peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. This album included the standout single "Promised You a Miracle" as well as other fan favorites such as "Glittering Prize" and "Someone Somewhere in Summertime". The band achieved even more success with their 1985 album Once Upon a Time, which reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and spawned the hit singles "Alive and Kicking" and "Don't You (Forget About Me)".

The band's most recent album, Walk Between Worlds, was released in 2018. The lead single "Magic" was the band's first UK Top 40 hit in nearly 30 years.

An interesting fact about Simple Minds is that in the early 1980s, they were the opening act for U2 on their War Tour.
