By 1985, Simple Minds were coming off a #1 album in the UK with Sparkle in the Rain and sales from all around the world. But it only went to #64 in the US and they needed something to spark greater interest across the pond.

In late 1975, Rush were feeling confident.

Thanks to Neil, the lyrics could become more introspective …
