new world gold

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. 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 album's title track, "New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)", saw a limited release in Italy in March 1983 following the band's Italian leg of their supporting tour.
The release of New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84) was considered a turning point for the band, whose previous studio albums didn't find significant commercial success. Lead singer Jim Kerr said that "every band or artist with a history has an album that’s their Holy Grail, I suppose New Gold Dream was ours", and that the recording of the album 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".
The album has been praised as some of the band's finest work, and was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
