Joe Crow - Compulsion

Here's another classic early '80s piece of minimalist post-punk dance-pop. Joe was a member of the Nightingales but is probably at least as well known - admittedly that isn't saying much - for this song, which appeared on the absolutely essential Pillows and Prayers compilation (and seemingly on every Cherry Red retrospective ever released since then) and was also covered by Depeche Mode's Martin Gore on his decent enough Counterfeit EP. A great little tune.
