This is the first time that they've incldued this track in their live set for some years. The second track is the one which gave them their first Top 10 hit in March of this year - Let There Be Love.

MINDS ON STANDBY

Simple Minds, who are currently halfway through their UK tour, announce the release of a rather special cassette on Monday 19th August.

To coincide with the (delayed) release of their latest single Stand By Love, Virgin have achieved the impossible by recording - on the Manor Mobile - this weeks' gig at Glasgow Barrowlands and have in less than 36 hours pressed up a cassette version of the new single complete with live versions of the following songs: Stand By Love, Someone Somewhere In Summertime and Banging On The Door.

Each cassette will be individually numbered and will be a strictly limited edition, thus being destined to become a hotly collectable item in the future as well as a souvenir of this years' Real Life Tour.

Catalogue number: VSTC 1358
