Британцы Simply Red под руководством харизматичного лидера Мика Хакнэлла продали более 50 миллионов альбомов. Уже дебютный Picture Book, с топ-синглом Holding Back the Years, получил в Британии 5-кратный платиновый статус, получил платину в США, трижды золото в Германии.
Отмечу, что коллекционное переиздание 2008-го года содержит пять ремиксов, отлично по звуку. Бонус DVD с концертом на Фестивале Монтре-1986 в раздаче отсутствует.
