Originally released in October 1985, and coming hot on the heels of the global smash single "(Don't You) Forget About Me," `Once Upon a Time' was to prove the album that propelled Simple Minds to stratospheric heights of artistic and commercial success. Containing the classic hit singles "Alive and Kicking," "All the Things She Said," "Sanctify Yourself," and "Ghost Dancing," the original, era-defining album is available on black vinyl in gatefold sleeve and features "(Don't You) Forget About Me" for the first time.
