Street Fighting Years, best track Take A Step Back, had Belfast Child, This Is Your Land, Kick It In as singles. Mandela Day/Let It All Come down made up the Ballad of the Streets. They let Trevor Horn have a go on production, basically he over produced a set of good songs. Saying that, it was round about this time when Simple Minds did some remarkable stage shows including the Verona concert, made famous by the DVD. (I was there and went to this concert as it happened during the 1990 Italian World Cup, afterwards Simple Minds advertised it as the best 90 minutes of Scottish action in Italy. They were correct Costa Rica beat us 1-0.)
