Street Fighting Years Box Set Reissue Reviews

A couple of reviews of the SFY box set have been printed in both Mojo and Uncut magazines this week. The Mojo one is particularly scathing but the “fortune cookie wisdom” in regards to Jim’s lyrics in the Uncut review isn’t exactly complimentary, either! Although overall, it is a kinder review. The reissue lands in…

At Least It’s ‘On Topic’….

So…two of my recent posts to the SMO visitor wall get deleted for…whatever reason. Okay. Fair enough. But this gets to stay? No comeback from Jim? Nae nuthin’? Well, it’s “on topic”, I suppose. At least they’ve been allowed to express an opinion… To each their own.

Street Fighting Years – Reissues/Box Set – Released 06/03/2020

It’s the one a lot of fans have been waiting for and well…it’s fairly disappointing, insomuch as there’s nothing to surprise. No previously unreleased material. Well the Verona audio is deemed “previously unissued” – whatever the fuck THAT’S meant to mean. Not previously in audio only format, I’m assuming? This new push for “edits” continues…

Minds Music Monday – Why I Love…Soul Crying Out

Lighting the political touchpaper in 1989 with words of angst and hope, Soul Crying Out has to be one of Simple Minds’ most beautiful, heartfelt pieces on the current state of the world (of then…as it is now) as you are ever likely to hear. Starting with a soft, jangly guitar riff from Charlie Burchill…

The Tees Tease

Dang! Okay, so it was a SFY shirt…and well, it isn’t looking too dissimilar in concept to the Grandslam Summer design, to be honest. I know Stuart is the current designer. And he’s fabulous…oh, but to just DREAM of something like that! One break! One special one off. And not even for monetary gain or…

One Wish – Reimagined?

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Street Fighting Years…and I think I just ended up exhausting myself with having interviews for Life In A Day to try with more. I couldn’t bring myself to ask Bruce for more time. As it was he started to worry I wanted to go though every…

Kyle Meredith Gets My Dream Interviewee

Damn you, Kyle! Lol Oh well, you’ll do a much better job than I ever could anyways. Best to leave it to the pros, hah? Anyway, I’m off to listen to it. Was too excited to share it first before even listening to it.

Article On Peter Gabriel And Jim Kerr From – AOUT/BEST Magazine, 1989

I’m going to assume the that magazine is Belgian, seeing as I bought these magazine clippings from a seller in Belgium. The language is French, so…. Anyway, I shall keep the pages as they are. Too much to try and translate…just something on the blog for the French speakers to enjoy. For us English ignoramuses,…
