Single release by Simple Minds is the first of three single releases from the forthcoming album Sparkle in the Rain (Feb. '84). The A-side is an extended version running at 5:50 mins, whereas the 7'' single runs at 4:40 mins, thus the change of song title (the album version is simply titled 'Waterfront' as the single's title). The live track is recorded at the City Hall, Newcastle, Nov. 20, 1982. "Waterfront" was the best faring single from the album, peaking at number #13 on the UK singles chart list (but topping the charts in New Zealand).
