additional information
This tape features two very early rough demos of the same song: an early demo with the beginning of vocals
and an instrumental version.
This slow tempo song features a drum machine, arpeggio synths,
solid slow chord strumming by Charlie and a guide vocal by
Jim. The lyrics are really simple guides and haven't been fully worked
out: it's just "In Every Heaven" repeated. The song and its arrangement have nothing in common with
the final track - this is effectively a different song with the same lyric.
The tape itself features a Townhouse sticker, title Simple Minds Rough Mixes and the
date 5/11/81. The date is obviously incorrect as Simple Minds
were in Canada at the time. Therefore the date of these recordings is a mystery, but given the early nature of the song, then it
probably dates back to the Rockfield sessions of January 1982. (Although that doesn't explain why the tape has a
Townhouse sticker and not a Rockfield sticker).
