Week Forty-Five: Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites - Red Rockers - "China" - Volume 2

As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the most convenient methods that I employed to learn about Retro/New Wave/80's bands was compilation cassettes.

One of my most loved series was Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites. The greatest thing about this series was that he included a small blip of info about each band in the liner notes.

This week is Spring Break (my last one ever)... and well, I'm supposed to be "breaking", so I am going to let Richard Blade tell you about this week's bands... but the scans are from the actual cassettes that I still own!!!

Danced with wind and danced with fire
Killed the truth and called the liar
Bleeding in its mystery when the moon began to fall
Dreamers are not all they seem,
Sleeping in her silent dream
She locks it all inside and hides it all away

China, China

Calling out to your history
Is that the way it will always be?

China, China

Questions right in my hand, and then
Answers gone till I don't know when


All you speak and all you hear
Hand that's strong and voice it's clear
An unforgotten memory when the moon begins to call
Called you right and called you wrong
Time, the shadow, sings your song
Don't lock it all inside and hide it all away

China, China 4x
