Let there be love - Simple Minds

The first single from the Simple Minds' 1991 album 'Real life' was 'Let there be love'. Although the song still had a very full sound, gone were the days of stadium rock and misplaced missionarism. Jim Kerr was becoming less of a Bono clone and started focusing on music again. What a nice change.

The single reached number 6 in the UK singles chart and number 4 in the Dutch Top 40. The single version was an edit of the album version.

My collection: 7" single no. 1404
Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, March 30, 1991
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'Let there be love' / 'Good night'
