Minds Music Monday – Brucey Bonus – Belated 38th Anniversary To Sparkle In The Rain

Posted on February 7, 2022October 2, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Minds Music Monday – Brucey Bonus – Belated 38th Anniversary To Sparkle In The Rain

It’s a belated Happy 38th Anniversary to Sparkle In The Rain. The anniversary was actually yesterday and there was celebration at Casa Read by way of this beauty getting a play on the old turntable.

A favourite track? Well, during yesterday’s airing of the album, Waterfront was sounding particularly good. And it was one of the first songs that I remember clearly sticking out at me, making me aware of this “Simple Minds” band that was around.

But…having said all that, I still get flabbergasted by the majestic sound and “OMG WTF is that?“ time signature to White Hot Day. Enjoy!
