Hello gang,
What are some really good China Crisis songs to check out, here is what I already know and like ...
King In A Catholic Style, Working With Fire And Steel, Arizona Sky, African And White, Black Man Ray, Wishful Thinking

Thanks, Justin/DevoManiac101

Tragedy and Mystery

Get the two CD set China Crisis Collection...The Very Best of China Crisis
Make sure it is the 2CD Import Set.

"Scream Down at Me" is a fantastic track on there.

One track not on there is "Never Too Late" a hard track to find,
was only on a 12"

What exactly is the two cd set called. I looked up the title on ebay & only found it to contain one cd not two? Any info will help. Best Regards

I'm a huge CC fan, so I'll back up everything suggested so far, and add:

[b]Safe As Houses
When The Piper Calls
The Way We Are Made[/b] (A slow one, but in my opinion, an all-time great love song)

I consider the extended versions of "King In A Catholic Style", "Arizona Sky", and "Working With Fire And Steel" all three to be flawless.

I think it's better to listen their albums in entirety, not separate songs.

Thanks all for the help, I will check out that two CD greatest for my collection.

Working With Fire And Steel - Possible Pop Songs, Vol. Two

I think this is one of the slickest albums to come out of the 80's. It's funny but when I first heard this I thought, "This is a new wave Steely Dan" and then Walter Becker ended up producing for them.

Mike Howlett's production is flawless on this one...when I listen to it I have to listen to the whole thing. Wonderful.

The music you listen to is the soundtrack of your life.

If you could play The Way We Are Made, would be great. I haven`t heard that track before. Thanks

Anything by China Crisis. Honestly, if you limit yourself to the 2CD set, you will miss so many more perfect songs by them. Seems a shame to only have those two discs.

I picked up their acoustic set & it`s fantastic. I have a few of their cd`s but I there is more I`m going to have to pick up. I don`t have their Warped By Success Cd.

I agree with Grunch.

Everything they did was excellent! Get your hands on it all.

One of my faves not mentioned is "No More Blue Horizons", from their first album. Very catchy hooks.

And a band with great bass lines, as well.

Ya, I`m going to work on getting all their cd`s. THAT IS MY GOAL.[;)]
