Simple Minds is a Scottish rock band that was founded in 1977 in Glasgow. With their captivating sound and powerful lyrics, they quickly gained popularity and became greatly acclaimed from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Their music continues to resonate with fans around the world, making them an iconic presence in the music industry.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

Live In The City Of Angels is an album that captures Simple Minds live on their most recent tour. Following the huge acclaim of 2018’s Walk Between Worlds album (“The band’s best album in decades.” Album Of The Week, Sunday Times), continuing their recent spectacular renaissance, while also building on their reputation as one of the world's great live acts, last autumn Simple Minds travelled to North America to undertake their first coast to coast tour in over two decades. Taking in 31 cities, both critics and fans unani-mously agreed that it was the bands most successful US tour to date.The resulting album, Live In The City Of Angels, is a 40-song collection, spanning one of the most diverse catalogues of, to date, a 40 year career. Simple Minds’ live prowess, incredible musicianship, led by the band’s exceptional and iconic guitarist Charlie Burchill, and the soulfulness of frontman Jim Kerr’s voice - which has matured into a powerful instrument in its own right - delivers a set that proves why Simple Minds are still a vital and relevant band.In a career spanning set it features songs from the band’s Empires and Dance album through to last year’s Walk Between Worlds. Beginning with that album’s The Signal and The Noise, the first five songs alone – followed by Waterfront, Love Song, Let There Be Love, and Up On The Catwalk - are a reminder as to why Simple Minds are one of the greatest bands of their generation.Elsewhere the album includes gems from their classic New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) album, Sons and Fascination, Sparkle In The Rain, 1985’s colossus Don’t You (Forget About Me), as well as Alive and Kicking and Sanctify Yourself from that year’s UK no.1 and US Top 10 album Once Upon a Time, right up to 2015’s Big Music (which Mojo magazine declared “their best album in 30 years”) and last year’s Walk Between Worlds (a UK Top 5 album). Live In The City Of Angels is a must-have collection for any self-respecting Simple Minds fan and a perfect reminder of the band’s enduring talent and live appeal.
