On this day in 1982, Simple Minds released their critically acclaimed and groundbreaking album ‘New Gold Dream’ featuring the hit singles 'Promised You a Miracle', 'Glittering Prize' and 'Someone Somewhere in Summertime'.

"I have the most beautiful memories of New Gold Dream. It was made in a time between Spring and Summer and everything we tried worked. We were in love with what we were doing, playing it, listening to it. You don't get many periods in your life when it all goes your way." - Jim

Simply one of the best albums of all time! 🔥 ❤️

Superb, and it sounds even better in 5.1 surround👍

McNeil and Forbes masterpiece. Pity they’re not around now.

Quite simply the greatest album ever made, absolute perfection throughout.

What an album! A huge part of the soundtrack of my teenage years

Has to be in the top 5 albums of the decade. I will be listening to it in homage later with a green tea!

And thank you for making a timeless piece of musical magnificence!

One of the albums of my youth, and still, 42 years later an absolute classic.. still regularly played in my house.
