New Gold Dream is the fifth studio album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds.
The album was originally released in 1982 and was a turning point for the band as they gained critical and commercial success in the UK, Europe and beyond.
The record generated singles; “Promised You a Miracle” (released in April 1982), “Glittering Prize” (August 1982) and “Someone Somewhere in Summertime” (November 1982). The title track also saw a limited release in Italy, when the band visited the country during their tour in March 1983.
