The Early Years 1977–1978
The Early Years 1977–1978 is a withdrawn demo collection album by Simple Minds, released in 1998. It was withdrawn shortly after its release, apparently because nobody could figure out who had originally financed the demos so, in turn, no one knew who to pay the royalties to.
