No I haven’t I’m afraid. Having started at the beginning with Benny Santini, I felt that by the time Auberge came around that Rea had become very predictable. Therefore his releases stopped being automatic purchases and I just enjoyed what I had. However I have picked up a few more albums over the years, a favourite being God’s Great Banana Skin, which I feel was a return to form.

Sincerest condolences Geoff. It’s a tough time but it seems you had a great relationship with your Dad which is not granted to everyone and have many musical memories to savour.

Thank you @Sloop_John_B and all the others for your kind words, they are a real help at this time.
Indeed, I was very fortunate to have such a positive relationship with my Dad and to hear many excellent musical performances together. Certainly it will bring him close again when I am revisiting those tunes, or discovering new songs I know he would enjoy.

China Crisis. Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms. Debut album 1982.
Always liked these guys. Even early on you can hear some Steely Dan influence. Walter Becker played and produced on a couple of later albums.

That is a lovely album. I will have to sift through and find my copy, bought on release all those years ago…(feeling old now!

More China Crisis. Vinyl. 1985. Probable their best, certainly the most successful.
“The album was produced by Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker, who is credited as an official member of China Crisis on the record sleeve. Becker apparently requested to meet with the band after hearing their song “Papua” from their previous studio album” WIKI.
