Once Upon a Time is the seventh studio album by Scottish band Simple Minds and was released on 21 October, 1985 through Virgin. It went to number 1 in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, number 10 in the United States, number 4 in Sweden, number 7 in Switzerland and Australia and number 3 in New Zealand, Canada and Germany.
All songs written and composed by Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, and Mick MacNeil,[1] except where noted. (Note: the band used to credit all their songs to simply "Simple Minds", which at the time also included drummer Mel Gaynor and bass player John Giblin. However, both the ASCAP song database and the credits on Spotify list Kerr, Burchill and MacNeil as the sole writers).
