Simple Minds - Once Upon A Time

Once Upon a Time is the seventh studio album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, originally released on 21 October 1985 by Virgin Records. Mass success looked increasingly attainable for Simple Minds during the early-to-mid 1980s, with albums such as New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) and Sparkle In The Rain reaping significant chart returns in the U.K. and Europe. However, the Scottish quintet took it to the next level with 1985's Once Upon A Time: a powerful and confident rock record which provided a well-deserved mainstream breakthrough in the U.S. Featuring the hit singles Alive and Kicking, Sanctify Yourself, All the Things She Said, and Ghost Dancing, the album reached No.
