the beautiful circle (demo)


composer
Words and music: Simple Minds


publisher
© 1989 Virgin Music (Publishers) Ltd


background
The Beautiful Circle didn't appear on any of the Street Fighting Years tapes until Reel Ten. Even then, the rough Monitor Mix #1 wasn't even logged on the tape box, just appearing as an anonymous instrumental towards the end of the tape.

Monitor Mix #1 is instantly recognisable as Year Of The Dragon. It's a shorter, rougher take than the final recorded version, and features a dramatic fade-out at the end.
