additional information
For some reason (probably due to regulations from the chart compilers who gradually started restricting formats), the cassette single started to feature the same tracks as the 7" instead of the 12" (as it had done so previously). (This was probably due to the success of Kylie's Hand On Your Heart which prompted the chart compilers to include the sales of cassette singles). The sleeve also bore the ugly Cassette Single logo.

It was still a lavish package with full colour inlay housed in a plastic case.

Both sides played the same.

Mint copies can still be found today.

B1. Kick It In[Unauthorised Mix]     (7:02)




catalogue
Virgin SMXTG 5
SMXTG 5 A-1U-1-1//SMXTG 5 B-1U-1-1



format
12" with grey paper labels in colour gatefold sleeve with double-sided colour poster.


release date
July 1989

Sleeve by Assorted iMaGes

additional information
The limited edition 12" was the only commerical format to include the Unauthorised Mix of the title track. The package itself was exceptionally lavish with the 12" single housed in a large glossy gatefold sleeve with the addition of a doubled sided colour poster. The poster carried the main shot of Jim on one side and a collection of previous album covers on the other - this was the only recognition of Simple Minds' tenth anniversary.

Lots of copies were made despite it being a limited edition, so mint versions should still be easy to find.
