This Liverpool, England-based band was formed in 1979 around the core of Gary Daly (b. 10 May 1962, Kirkby, Merseyside, England; vocals) and Eddie Lundon (b. 9 June 1962, Kirkby, Merseyside, England; guitar). In 1982, their first single, "African And White", initially on the independent Inevitable label, was picked up for distribution by Virgin Records and made a critical impact, despite only just breaking into the UK Top 50. The single's b-side was "Red Sails', a perfect early example of China Crisis" pastoral electro pop.
