He dropped everything - including a production duty with Rush - to produce Simple Minds when
approached in September 1983. His
name had been floated around as a possible for both Sons And Fascination
and New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) but their schedules never matched.
He produced Sparkle In The Rain and its attendent singles and remixes. He
initially joined the band for preparatory work at Rockfield in September 1983 before the album was recorded at The Townhouse
in October and November 1983.
