The album that this came from, Sparkle in the Rain was an absolute banger at the time. Not one bad song on it. They just had this powerful sound. So distinctive. It's great that they are still touring. Their drummer these days is brilliant although Mel Gaynor was fantastic the way he used to beat the crap out of the drums especially on this song and Speed your love.

Oh yeah, Mel Gaynor was a total powerhouse. Incredible technique, too.

We have a show in Australia called Rage, which they just play music videos, on the National broadcast channel. They used to use the start of 'Speed your love to me' with Mel absolutely pounding the life out the skins. Gees, I love early Simple minds. Love Song, for that terrific synth and bass riff. Jim and Charlie are absolute legends.@@110BERLIN_

​@@Alpha_7227Actually it wasn't Up On The Catwalk that Rage used, it was/is the intro from the extended version of Speed Your Love To Me - and they are still using it to this day.

Street Hassle was terrible, I think even Jim Kerr has admitted that. I don't like this remix either, things are way out of order. I've always thought that even though Catwalk is a great song it always sounded too contained in the album, and much better live.

The current line up is fucking dire. Nothing more than a tribute band now. Last few albums have been ok, not as good as they could be though if Jim and Charlie took their heads from out of their Asses and got MacNeil, Forbes and Gaynor back in the ban even if it was for one last album and tour but I would be ok if MacNeil didn’t want to tour.

Discovered in the 80's and still love the Simple Minds, and with the beautiful mixes you made it is still a joy to listen to, thanks for sharing!👍😀

My cat's favourite. She 's a fan too

Just fantastic. I remember getting very friendly with a girl from Newcastle. She wanted this on repeat 😉

You make so much for all early Minds lovers (well, even if catwalk is not so early). I have listened so many times these songs but I totally rediscover them. Thanks a lot for that !
