It's on the Sun City album that Little Steven put together in the mid-80s. The album is one of my favorites, but even the cd is out-of-print now.
Out-of-print, wow!?
So that's why I have never come across that one. I've got to admit, I never really checked, but still. thnx for the info martha.
BTW I was in high school when the Sun City single came out. I don't know if anyone is familiar with the dutch tradition of Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) but I bought the 45 and gave it as a present to a classmate after "drawing tickets" (lootjes trekken) So I did buy it, owned it for a week, but obviously never played it. The full 33 album was a bit out of my league, budget-wise...and my first CD player some 2 years away.
An amazon.com search of Sun City in "recordings" gives you Little Steven's greatest hits, USA for Africa and U2
CD Single three live tracks:

what is this???
..and The Sun City album is 35$ used!?
I do own Simple Minds, "live in the city of lights" actually one of my first CD purchases, featuring a Sun City cover. Jim Kerr was always sorry he couldn't participate, too busy recording their classic Once upon a Time, I guess. That one also one of the first ten CDs that I bought.
Sorry for the off topic rant, but what was the Sun City single b-side?
