life in a day: information

  • This was the first commercial pressing to feature the name Simple Minds.

  • Issued as a taster for the forthcoming album, its release also coincided with the band's first TV appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test.

  • The B-side, Special View, is only available on this release.

  • The single was also released in Germany with a different B-side and different sleeve.

  • A single on US based PVC Records is rumoured, but no copies have ever surfaced. It could be a UK version with promotional sticker - like this copy of Chelsea Girl.

  • Its success (a lowly 62 by today's standards) lead to the much glossier packaging of the next single Chelsea Girl.
