One thing Hillage and Simple Minds had in common was a love of krautrock music. They worked with producer Steve Hillage, who was a guitarist in the progressive rock band Gong. Having ended their contract with Arista the sessions were the first recordings the band made for Virgin Records. Hyslop also appeared in the 'Sweat in Bullet' and 'Love Song' videos. Drummer Brian McGee left just after recording the set, and was replaced by Kenny Hyslop as part-time member for the upcoming tour. The sessions are the last to have the same line-up as all its predecessors. The original 1985 CD reissue deleted two songs from Sister Feelings Call, as the maximum running time of Red Book CD releases at the time would not accommodate the entire set, and Virgin were unwilling to issue the material as a two-CD set. The current CD remaster contains all the tracks once split onto two LPs, with their respective track running orders preserved. The two releases are variously categorised as a double album, two single albums or a single album and an extended play. They were assembled from the same sessions and released at the same time and, in some instances, sold as a double-LP set. Sons and Fascination and Sister Feelings Call were two separate albums. It includes the singles 'The American', 'Love Song' and 'Sweat in Bullet'. It was released in September 1981 and was their first to reach a wide international audience. Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call is the (double-LP) fourth album by Scottish post-punk band Simple Minds.
