background
The closing track on Simple Minds third demo tape remains hidden in the vaults. It wasn't recorded for an album and it hasn't turned up on any bootlegs. It was also mentioned in a Zoom press release, where it was identified as one of the 'newer' songs, so it could have appeared in the band's late 1978 set lists.

It also reveals a link between Jim and author Ira Levin who penned Rosemary's Baby about a woman who believed she has been impregnated by the devil. (Adapted by Roman Polanski in the film Rosemary's Baby, 1968). For Jim later used the title of another of his books: Boys From Brazil.

"Ira Levin is the highly acclaimed and internationally bestselling author of Rosemary's Baby, A Kiss Before Dying, The Boys from Brazil, This Perfect Day, Sliver, and The Stepford Wives. Mr. Levin also wrote "Deathtrap," the longest running thriller in Broadway history. He is a two-time winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allen Poe Award. He lives in New York City." - Taken from fantasicfiction.co.uk.
