Sister Feelings Call was initially a bonus LP sold with part of the initial pressing of 1981's Sons and Fascination. A month after Sons and Fascination was released, Sister Feelings Call was issued separately at a budget price. And then, for Virgin's 1985 CD issue of Sons, Sister was added to the end (albeit minus &League of Nations& and &Sound in 70 Cities&). The first three songs on Sister match or exceed the material on Sons and Fascination. &Theme for Great Cities& is one of Simple Minds' best instrumentals, &The American& (a 1981 single) exemplifies the point at which 1980's Empires and Dance and 1982's New Gold Dream cross, and &20th Century Promised Land& offers winding ripples of rhythms without one instrument taking any central role. The remainder is relatively unremarkable.
