The Scottish rock band Simple Minds has released 21 studio albums, eleven live albums, ten compilation albums, fourteen box sets, four EPs, 75 singles, and five video albums. The band formed in Glasgow under the name Johnny & the Self-Abusers in 1977 before releasing their debut album Life in a Day (1979) under the Simple Minds name. The album achieved moderate commercial success for the band, reaching the top forty of the albums charts in the United Kingdom. Their second album, Real to Real Cacophony, was released at the end of 1979 and failed to chart, whilst their third album, Empires and Dance (1980) just missed the top forty in the United Kingdom. Their fourth album, the double album release Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call (1981) produced the commercially successful single "Love Song" which became their highest charting single in the United Kingdom up until that point.
