Il 31 ottobre i Simple Minds pubblicheranno “40: The best of – 1979-2019”, una raccolta che ripercorre i loro 40 anni di carriera. La band capitanata da Jim Kerr prende il proprio nome da un verso della canzone di David Bowie "The Jean Genie": ‘so simple minded’.



“40: The best of” sarà disponibile in una edizione deluxe 3CD, CD singolo, 2LP e Digitale con audio rimasterizzato agli Abbey Road Studios ed un artwork disegnato da Stuart Crouch, con gli iconici simboli di Malcolm Garrett, che rappresentano tutti i loro 40 anni di carriera.
