SIMPLE MINDS

GHOSTDANCING
(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" REMIX)

JUNGLELAND
(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" REMIX)

In 1985 Simple Minds released their eighth album Once Upon a Time. Due to the popularity of the Keith Forsey-penned "Don't You (Forget About Me)" on The Breakfast Club soundtrack, interest in Simple Minds was at an all-time high by the time this album came out. Some say it was to spite the song's success, but the band decided to leave the career-defining cut off the album, and instead let singles like speak for themselvers. It was a ploy that seemed to pay off as the album topped the UK charts, and peaked on the US charts at #10.

Ghostdancing was the 4th single from the album and reached #13 in UK. The song was specially remixed along with album track Jungleland by Zeus B. Held and released as a double sided 12" remix package in November 1986.
