Day 12, #19: King Is White And In The Crowd
A wealth of different versions to choose from; I'll go with this, from their John Peel session first broadcast on 1st March, 1982.
Wire them up, fire them up...

Day 11, #20: Street Hassle
Sha-la-la-la-la... Remembering Kirsty MacCol, and recognising an industrial strength riff.

Day 11, #21: Toy (Your Turn To Drive)
The title track of the shelved 2000 project. With Cuong Vu’s trumpet, Mike Garson's piano, Earl Slick's guitar, Lisa Germano's violin, and more, the whole shebang is a work of collective brilliance.

Another 'Once Upon A Time' anthem, with Robin Clark's vocals intertwining with Jim Kerr's with both power and soulfulness.
