China Crisis: Working with Fire and Steel (1983)


This 12" single contains two mixes of the terrific Working with Fire and Steel. I think Allmusic's assessment of the song is right on: "With its percolating beat, Daly's hiccupping vocals, and a smashing chorus, it was the perfect modern pop song." [source] Side B has two instrumental and somewhat ambient tracks, Dockland and Forever I and I. I still haven't figured out what the name of the band means.
