Acoustic

Brand new sealed 180 gram double album made in the EU.

Acoustic is the seventeenth studio album by the Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released on 11 November 2016 by Caroline International.^[1] The album features acoustic studio recordings of previously released songs and received mixed reviews.^[2]

The genesis of Acoustic can be traced back to a rare live session the band recorded for the BBC Radio Two's Chris Evans Breakfast Show on 26 September 2014,^{[nb 1]} promoting then their 16th studio album, Big Music. The reaction, to the band's surprise, was overwhelmingly favourable.^[3]

The band performed acoustic sets during some other one-off live appearances (radio sessions or showcase events) including one held on 22 November 2014 in Paris by French radio station RTL notable for a rare outing of "Mandela Day".^{[nb 2][3][4]}

Besides Kerr and Burchill the band consists of Ged Grimes (bass), Sarah Brown (backing vocals), Gordy Goudie (guitars) and Cherisse Osei (drums).^[1]
