• Available October 23rd, 2026.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

Originally released in 1989, Street Fighting Years saw Simple Minds at their most ambitious, delivering an album of big songs and powerful themes. Produced by Trevor Horn and Stephen Lipson, Street Fighting Years was a major stylistic departure from the previous album, Once Upon a Time. While still maintaining the epic arena rock sense of scale and drama which the band had developed since the mid-1980s, the album also moved away from the American soul and gospel influences of its predecessor in favour of soundtrack atmospherics and a new incorporation of acoustic, Celtic and folk elements.

Highlights include "Belfast Child", and "Mandela Day".
