However, the band deliberately left the track off the album due to their reluctance to record it. Four singles were taken from the album; \"Alive and Kicking\" (UK No. 7, US #3), \"All the Things She Said\" (UK No. 9, US #28), \"Sanctify Yourself\" (UK No. 10, US #14), and \"Ghost Dancing\" (UK #13). The album topped the UK charts, and peaked at No.10 on the US charts (5 consecutive weeks in Top 10 of Billboard and 16 weeks in Top 20).The album was available with two covers upon its original LP release. The alternate cover uses the back image for the front and vice versa. It also moves the Simple Minds logo to the right of the cover. The two cover images fit together when placed side by side or above each other, and the release of the album in British record shops saw the two covers placed in a grid, alternating like the two colours on a chessboard. The album cover was standardised for the original CD release and this version has since been used for the various reissues of the album.
