Themes for Great Cities: A New History of Simple Minds Hardcover - 2023

by Graeme Thomson


From the rear cover

'The Simple Minds story has been too condensed. After Live Aid and "Don't You (Forget About Me)" there hasn't been quite the credit for those first few records. I think they contain some really special music. I can hear the flaws but there's something about the spirit and imagination in them that feels good. They draw from such a wide range of influences . . . but the spirit of it was always Simple Minds' Jim Kerr, to the author
