When I first heard the bassline of this song coming out of my car stereo in the summer of 1981, I remember immediately driving to my favourite record store to pick up a copy of Simple Minds’ new album, Sons and Fascination. Once I got there, I was told that it wouldn’t be out for another month. Had I been in Toronto earlier that year, I might have had a chance to see the band road test the song live.
When it did come out, I learned that Sons and Fascination was a double album where each part was released separately. Its twin, Sister Feelings Call, featured material recorded during the same sessions. There were some versions where the two records were sold as a package.
