Life In A Day was the first album by Simple Minds and was originally released in 1979.


Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr formed a punk band in 1977. They were heavily influenced by Lou Reed, and after one unsuccessful single as Johnny & the Self Abusers, they shuffled the line-up to include former Abusers Brian McGee on drums and Tony Donald on bass guitar, the latter of whom was quickly replaced by Derek Forbes. In addition, keyboard and synthesizer player Mick MacNeil was also recruited. The band's name was changed to Simple Minds, which was either taken from David Bowie's song "Jean Genie"; "...so simple-minded, he can't drive his module," or, more likely, from Iggy Pop's "Play it Safe"; "You're too simple-minded, let's play it safe."

Simple Minds's debut album, Life in a Day, took a cue from fellow Post-punk forebears Magazine, and was somewhat self-consciously derivative of the late-70s punk boom, with AOR crossover potential not unlike that of The Cars. Life in a Day was exactly the kind of music Arista wanted to promote, being the album released by Zoom Records, owned by the band's manager, Bruce Findlay.
