Hope Jim reads this. The Kick Inside Of Me was, and still is, the song that made me want to do something with my life. So don't disrespect Side 2 of Sparkle In The Rain.
What a beautiful interview Jims a great story teller so honest and funny simple minds are a fantastic band saw them at Leeds after this interview amazing
Changeling takes on another level when played really really loud, so i can see how in the discos it worked. One of my personal favourite tunes that one but then Simple Minds were my first band where i just listened to every album and tried to work it all out, the diversity of production keeps it fresh and as Jim said there - so much to learn from their catalogue, production wise especially but also musically
Thank you, guys, for such an exciting talk! So much fun, so great vibes! It's truly pleasure to listen to three musicians from my favourite bands all at once and all together. Really enjoyed this podcast. 😄
Interview of brilliant things chaps but you must do a part 2 with Charlie too. As you say so much still of interest that would appeal to even casual fans...The Mandela concerts with the Gabriel/Minds headline drama where he reportedly requested the Minds shorten their set, the Live Aid backstage where SM along with all other bands it seemed were asked to ' Move out the way, clear the area...Madonna's coming through' & Jim said 'Who the fxxx is she?' The real comeback artistically of Black n White 050505 , with Jonathan Ross's endorsement & classic quip about thinking they were all dead but the album being brilliant, wasn't it compared to Kate Bush if she were a band of guys!? Oh and the trousers ripping at a big gig...Gotta ask JK back just for that! Anyway, thank you both, great series. PS. Roger Taylor would be a superb guest, most impressive body of solo work from an artistic point of any member of any super group ito my ears.
Nice to hear Guy praise Derek Forbes, wonderful bassist
Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel. Genius
An absolute brilliant listen.. Jim has so many great stories

Probably the best thing i've heard this year
Oh please please please get a hold of Tony Levin. That would be a savage interview!
Great interview as always with Jim! Down to earth and humorous
Please try and get Peter Gabriel on. Please !!!!! Great interview with Jim by the way.
Peter Walsh was apparently one of the engineers at Utopia Studios where the first Spandau album was recorded (according to Discogs)
Loving this show. Great stories and memories from JK.
An enjoyable listen... top show gents.
Belfast Boy AYE!
Another great episode.
Btw When is Noddy Holder scheduled for an interview?

Spandau is probably my favorite 80’s band, but Simple Minds are probably the best.
