I hear what you're saying. And I'm definitely enjoying trying to track this one down - perhaps more so because I'm beginning to suspect I'll never find out. And I do kind of like it when ebay sellers list records as a cover-up because it feels as though they are challenging you to work out what it is and get it elsewhere (although I never buy cover-ups because I'm suspicious that it will be a Simple Minds b-side or something).
But normally by the time you do figure something out there is something else to chase after and the game continues...
Hmm, now I say it, maybe this one is Simple Minds if they've decided to revisit their Theme For Great Cities era
