Big Heat - Watch Me Catch Fire (A&M)

The "Sexual Healing" drumbox pre-empts a rather disappointing track, of which the most outstanding feature is Elvis Costello (who produced it) doing backing vocals. It's soul music, I suppose. Soul music by design though, not by feel. Do I like soul music? I like good music - Talking Heads, The Specials, The Blue Nile. (Roland Orzabal [Tears For Fears], Smash Hits, April 24, 1985)

Unfortunate Timing: The Bradford City stadium fire on May 11, 1985, which killed 56 people, led to several singles mentioning 'fire' in the title being withdrawn from radio airplay.
