A few days ago in September 1982 this fantastic 80s album by Simple Minds was released🥰🥳.To go with it, we're broadcasting a 'SPECIAL' in "The Maximum" today from 6 to 8 p.m. at colorbox80

LOOKING BACK ON THE 40th ANNIVERSARY OF NEW GOLD DREAM!

WHERE AND WHEN? Released 40 years ago this week and I know exactly where I was on that day of release. Having played the Lyceum in London the previous night and with the cheers from that experience most likely still ringing in my head, I awoke late that following morning and drifted through Hyde Park. Making my way towards HMV in Oxford Street, I was told there would be a considerable display for the album on view. That was something I wanted to see, cannot tell you how chuffed I was on spying the album artwork command so much space in the window of what was possibly the biggest record store in the UK/Europe at that time. Did I take a photo? A keepsake for times like this, when on certain days it feels great to look back on life's highlights? Of course not!
Neither I, nor anyone I knew, carried cameras around in the days before digital etc. Frankly it was all too much hassle. But memories worth keeping seemingly live on in my head with that morning a whole forty years ago being just one example.

HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS? On the back of two UK hit singles preceding the release we knew that we had a hit album on our hands. Our first UK hit album in fact, coming as it did five years after forming Simple Minds and having already released four albums previously. I guess we somehow felt we had worked for any success that was to come our way thanks to NGD. An even bigger thanks is of course warranted to all who purchased - guaranteeing its success.
We certainly did not expect that decades later we would still be talking about the record. Or, for that matter that audiences would still be delighting in hearing those songs played live. Anyone who was at the recent shows will know exactly what I mean.

MEDIA REACTION? Overall there was a positive reaction from 'the music press.' But even the best reviews in the biggest publications seem tempered and a little 'sniffy' about where Simple Minds fortunes might lie in the years ahead? Forty years later I guess we all know the answer. Meanwhile, few of those same music papers exist, likewise most of the reviewers are no longer involved in writing about music. Who knows what they are doing or where they are? It was all a very long time ago after all. The exception perhaps being Paul Morley, still active and considered to be the best of that generation." 'Let's face it, it's a glorious achievement etc" being Morley's most memorable sentiment while writing about NGD for the highly influential - New Musical Express.

THINGS THAT SHOULD NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN OR OVERLOOKED RE NEW GOLD DREAM?
1. Drummer Mike Ogletree, a genuinely soulful human being, brought much to the feel of the music on NGD - setting the rhythmic tones in the earlier pre studio rehearsals.
2. Producer Peter Walsh was barely 21 years old when asked to take control of the recording. How someone so young could rise to the challenge so convincingly is beyond me. Decades later it is still rare for a producer to bring anywhere near that amount of influence to a Simple Minds recording as Pete did with the sound on NGD.
3. Much of NGD's overall atmosphere comes from the album's 'mythic' artwork. Designed by (the now legendary) Malcolm Garret @ Assorted Images. We could not have asked for a more iconic and evidently timeless album sleeve. Sheila Rock's photographic images worked perfectly in addition.

BIGGEST MYTH ABOUT NEW GOLD DREAM? I had various lyrical ideas for the title track. Problem being I kept prevaricating - until the very last minute. Eventually, while in a bath and simultaneously listening back to the music being played from the room next door, I decided to go with text written for a song called New Gold Dream. Somewhere along the way, the details of that event seem to have been distorted. And so or the sake of clarity. No! I have never written songs in the bath. Shower. whirlpool bath. Sauna. Or swimming pool. Most likely never will. But then again...Who knows?

WHAT WAS THE LIFESTYLE IN SIMPLE MINDS BACK THEN? Everyone had steady girlfriends at the time, except me I think? Still not much money around therefore no fancy restaurants. I recall living mostly on banana flavoured yoghurts and fruit gums. Don't ask me why? I don't recommend it. All else seemed to be ordering from the kebab shop nearby. To this day I've still never eaten one of those. Such revolting looking things, let's be honest! I also don't recall much alcohol being around, not in the studio at least. And we were always in the studio. Drugs? Um...Possibly one or two? We were young and curious to experiment. Ladbroke Grove was close at hand and you could get your hands on anything there back then. Should you want?

FAVOURITE SONG/TRACK? For me it would be a toss up between 'Someone Somewhere In Summertime' and 'Hunter And The Hunter' - the former being the most perfect of all Minds songs - the latter meanwhile would surely be among our most unique.
Re Herbie Hancock who soloed so beautifully for us on the coda of 'HATH.' Even though I did not know much at all about Herbie Hancock when he came through the door of our studio in the Townhouse in June '82, I nevertheless had the impression that a 'prince' had visited us. I latterly got to realise that my notion was not without merit.

WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT - 40 YEARS LATER WHAT CHANGES WOULD I MAKE TO THE RECORDING? None whatsoever. "Creative, original, unpredictable, progressive, compelling." A lot of very flattering language has been used to describe the effect of NGD. For me, it's just a genuinely great Simple Minds record. And that I suppose is why we are still being asked to talk about it 40 years later?

WHAT MORE TO SAY? What fortune for me to be involved with such creative people at that time. Musicians, producer, engineers, crew, manager, record company, all of them pulling together to make sure this record happened. And then got to be heard the world over.
