New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) is the fifth studio album by Scottish band Simple Minds. The album was released in September 1982 by record label Virgin. It is considered one of the defining albums of the new pop movement of the early 1980s.[11][12] It spawned the commercially successful singles “Promised You a Miracle” released in April 1982, “Glittering Prize” released in August 1982, and “Someone Somewhere in Summertime” released in November 1982. The albums title track, "New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84)", saw a limited release in Italy in March 1983 following the bands Italian leg of their supporting tour.[13]
The release of New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) was considered a turning point for the band, who had previously failed to gather any significant commercial success with the release of their previous studio albums, with lead singer Jim Kerr claiming that "every band or artist with a history has an album that’s their holy grail, I suppose New Gold Dream was ours". Kerr said of the recording of the album that it was "a special time because we were really beginning to break through with that record, both commercially and critically. The people that liked that record connected with it in a special way".[14]
New Gold Dream originated in Simple Minds' unexpected popular and commercial success during an Australian tour with Icehouse following the release of Sons and Fascination. The band was prompted by this experience to write "Promised You a Miracle" upon their return to Europe.[16] In a 2012 interview, singer Jim Kerr recalled the production of the album as a wonderful time during the late spring and early summer of 1982 in which "everything we tried worked," adding: "There were no arguments. We were in love with what we were doing, playing it, listening to it. You don't get many periods in your life when it all goes your way."[16]
The album was recorded over a five-month period at Rockfield Studio, The Townhouse and Oxford Manor, with preproduction at The Old Mill in Fife. During a short tour rehearsal in January 1982, the band wrote what would become the songs "King Is White and in the Crowd", "Hunter and the Hunted" and "Promised You a Miracle," a song that proved pivotal to the musical direction of the album. It was unveiled in a Kid Jensen session for Radio 1 and released as a single in April 1982.[17] Producer Peter Walsh was hired on the recommendation of guitarist Charlie Burchill, who had been impressed by Walsh's work on the remix of the band's previous single "Sweat in Bullet." During the recording sessions, Walsh became dissatisfied with Mike Ogletree's drumming, so he recruited session drummer Mel Gaynor for the album. Following Ogletree's departure, Gaynor became a full-time member of the band.[17]
Jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock guested on the album and plays a synthesizer solo on the song "Hunter and the Hunted."[17]
Release and performance
Released in September 1982, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at number six and reached its peak position of number three the following week. It would spend a total of 53 weeks on the UK charts.[18][19] In the United States, A&M issued some limited-edition translucent gold with maroon-coloured marble vinyl pressings of the album.[20]
The albums spawned a total of three of singles which all reached the top forty of the UK Singles Charts – "Promised You a Miracle" (released in April 1982) became the band's first top 20 hit, reaching no.13 on the UK Singles Chart during an 11 week chart run. "Glittering Prize" (August 1982) was almost equally successful, peaking at no.16 and "Someone Somewhere in Summertime" (November 1982) reached no.36.[18] The title track saw a limited release in Italy when the band visited in March 1983.[21]Virgin Records reissued the album as a remastered edition in 2002 (cardboard vinyl replica edition) and early 2003 (jewel case). On the 2002/2003 edition, the gaps between the tracks on the album are slightly shorter. Virgin also reissued the album on SACD in 2003.
In 2005, Virgin released a DVD-Audio version that was remixed by Ronald Prent. All of the tracks except "Colours Fly and Catherine Wheel" and "Promised You a Miracle" (for which the multitrack tapes were lost) were remixed in 5.1 surround sound, and a downmixed 2.0 stereo version was created for DVD-Audio setups without surround sound. The DVD-Audio version contains the bonus track "In Every Heaven," which had previously been lost as it was not labelled properly on the master tape. An instrumental version of the song titled "Soundtrack for Every Heaven" had been the B-side of the "Someone, Somewhere (In Summertime)" 12-inch single and was also included in the Methods of Dance Volume 2 compilation on Virgin. An alternative version of "In Every Heaven" from the same sessions appears in the X5 box set.
In 2016, Virgin Records issued a six-disc deluxe box set including the original album, single versions, alternative takes and demos, B-sides, 1982 radio sessions and a DVD with the 2005 5.1 mix of the album and performances on Top of the Pops. Virgin also reissued the album as a digital download, a two-CD set, a single CD and a vinyl LP.[17]
The album received several positive reviews. In NME, Paul Morley wrote: "My loyalty towards Simple Minds is known to be considerable, yet even I am jarred by the constant beauty of this music. New Gold Dream robs me of my breath." Record Mirror's Mark Cooper wrote: "They have stunned and impressed me but they have rarely moved me. Suddenly, in New Gold Dream, they’ve conquered their fear of feeling and come out shining.”[17]
Journalist David Stubbs places New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) alongside ABC's The Lexicon of Love and the Associates' Sulk in a group of albums that he describes as the "zenith" of pop music.[16] In a 2016 review in Record Collector, journalist Tom Byford wrote: "New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) stands shining and singular in the Simple Minds canon... Now it not only takes its place among the greatest future-pop albums of the 80s (Dare, The Lexicon Of Love), it sits comfortably among the greatest pop albums of all time."[27]
In 1998, Jim Kerr said: "Every band or artist with a history has an album that's their holy grail. I suppose New Gold Dream was ours. It was a special time because we were really beginning to break through with that record, both commercially and critically. The people that liked that record connected with it in a special way. There was a depth to it: it created its own mythology. It stood out. It was our most successful record to date and, critically, the Paul Morleys of this world were writing very nice things about it."[34]

The mass media in Tunisia is an economic sector. Under the authoritarian regimes of Habib Bourguiba, and then Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, it saw periods of liberalization and then challenges, notably due to Tunisian censorship. The 2010-2011 Tunisian protests and the subsequent change in government may bring significant change in this domain. In 2007, the Tunisian government's Website counted 245 daily newspapers and reviews, grown from 91 in 1987.[1] These are in large part (90%) owned ...
