Sons and Fascination / Sister Feelings Call

Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call is the current common title for the fourth album by the Scottish Post-Punk band Simple Minds. It was released in September 1981 and was their first to reach a wide international audience. It reached number eleven on the UK Albums Chart, number thirty-one on the Australian Kent Music Report chart, number 7 on the New Zealand RIANZ chart and number four the Swedish Sverigetopplistan chart. Since 1981 the album has been certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. It includes the singles, "The American", "Love Song" and "Sweat in Bullet". Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call are two technically separate releases. Both assembled from the same sessions and released at the same time and, in some instances, sold as a double-LP set. The two releases are variously categorised as a double album, two single albums or a single album and an extended play. Since the current CD version contains all the tracks once split onto two LPs, with their respective track running orders preserved, Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call may be considered a single album with a near 80-minute running length, i.e. the band's fourth studio album.
