Once Upon a Time is the seventh studio album by Simple Minds, released in 1985. Although already successful in their native UK and Europe, the band had also now become popular in the US, mainly due to the Keith Forsey-penned "Don't You (Forget About Me)" which appeared on The Breakfast Club soundtrack and had become a No.1 hit there. However, the band deliberately left the track off the album due to their reluctance to record it. Four singles were taken from the album; "Alive and Kicking" (UK No. 7, US #3), "All the Things She Said" (UK No. 9, US #28), "Sanctify Yourself" (UK No. 10, US #14), and "Ghost Dancing" (UK #13). The album topped the UK charts, and peaked at No.10 on the US charts (5 consecutive weeks in Top 10 of Billboard and 16 weeks in Top 20).

Virgin Records reissued the album as a remastered edition in 2002 (cardboard vinyl replica edition) and early 2003 (jewel-case). It was released on SACD in 2003. 2005 saw yet another reissue of the album. This time Virgin released a DVD-Audio version (the source of this release), which is notable for being a completely remixed album. The remix is mixed and produced by Roland Prent in 96/24 PCM. All the tracks were remixed in 5.1 surround sound. The tracks on the remixed album differ in length in comparison to the original version. In most cases they are longer than in the original mix.

In 2013, All the Things She Said was featured in Grand Theft Auto V, which went on to be the highest-selling video game ever.
