This release of the album is the stand-alone version that was released separately to 'Sister Feelings Call'.

Initially both albums were packaged together as one release as shown here 'Simple Minds - Sons And Fascination / Sister Feelings Call'.The two LPs were sold shrink wrapped together. The first 10,000 copies included the free LP 'Sister Feelings Call'. As a thank-you to fans, 'Sons And Fascination' was sold shrink wrapped with copies of 'Sister Feelings Call' for the price of one album.

A sticker on front of the sleeve of 'Sons And Fascination' identified the release as the limited edition double LP and the package included two inserts [not this version]. The first, 'The New Album by Simple Minds' featured information about the album, discography and tour dates. The second - 'Simple Minds Information Sheet' featured details about official merchandise.

The two albums were later separated with 'Sons And Fascination' [this release] selling at full price and 'Sister Feelings Call' selling at a budget price. Subsequently, a version of this album was released by Virgin under its 'The Virgin Mid-Price Range' but with the cat. no. OVED 292 see here 'Sons And Fascination '.
