40th Anniversary Best of 1979-2019 is a new compilation album that covers all 40 years of the band's now legendary recording career. It captures their early experimentation, cross over chart successes, right up to their new imperial phase represented by songs from 2015's Big Music and last year's Walk Between Worlds, which was their highest chart success in over 20 years, charting at number 4 in the UK.

Compiled in conjunction with the band, 40th Anniversary Best of presents the very best of Simple Minds' extensive catalogue. It is a comprehensive overview of 40 years of one of Britain's most successful bands, taking in the innovative sheen of "Promised You A Miracle" and "Glittering Prize", the anthemic sweep of "Waterfront" and "Sanctify Yourself", the firebrand strand of "Belfast Child" and "Mandela Day", the colossus that is "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and "Alive & Kicking", and bringing things right up to date with the inclusion of a new track : a cover of King Creosote's 2014 song, "For One Night Only".
