Description:

In 2005 Simple Minds announced that â??Graffiti Soulâ? had been written on location in Rome, Sicily, Antwerp and Glasgow. The band then returned for the first time in almost three decades to Rockfield Studios, near Monmouth in Wales, where the group had originally recorded their earlier albums â??Real to Real Cacophonyâ?, â??Empires And Danceâ? and â??New Gold Dreamâ?. On its release in May 2009, the album reached number 10 in the UK albums chart. â??Graffiti Soulâ? was also issued in a 2CD Deluxe Edition, which Edsel is pleased to make available again. The second CD is â??Searching For The Lost Boysâ?, an album of covers of songs by Neil Young, Massive Attack, Magazine, The Stranglers, Thin Lizzy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Call and The Beach Boys. The two bonus tracks include the bandâ??s version of T. Rexâ??s â??Children Of The Revolutionâ?, originally available only as a download. Housed in a handsome digipak, the booklet features photos and newly-written revealing annotation by Jim Kerr himself. - RED VINYL
