| THE BOOK: |
This is the story of Simple Minds. It is the story of adventure, dedication
and change through thousands of miles and 7 albums. Since the early post-punk experiments of their
formative days in Glasgow in the late seventies, Simple Minds have gained
widespread recognition for their own distinct style. Their unwavering committment to musical
development has built a solid foundation for their commerical success. Their last album
Sparkle In The Rain entered the charts directly at
No. 1, their singles continue to be chart toppers and they performed
eight sellout nights at the Hammersmith
Odeon in the summer of 1984. This book, conceived and produced in association with the band looks
behind the public face of Simple Minds. It examines their lives and their work -
on tour and in the studio, in their words and pictures through the eyes of collegues and friends. |
| THE AUTHOR: |
Alfred Bos is a leading Dutch Journalist and
a personal friend of Simple Minds for many years. |
