Ian played alongside \u003cstrong\u003eHolly Johnson\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJayne Casey\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBudgie\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBill Drummond\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eBig In Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e, before joining the \u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Mirrors\u003c\/strong\u003e. He also produced several early records by \u003cstrong\u003eEcho and the Bunnymen\u003c\/strong\u003e, most notably the albums \u003cem\u003eCrocodiles\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePorcupine\u003c\/em\u003e. Paul had played with school friend and future Bunnyman \u003cstrong\u003eWill Sergeant\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Domestic\u003c\/strong\u003e and the founding line-up of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Teardrop Explodes\u003c\/strong\u003e, before going on to form \u003cstrong\u003eThe Wild Swans\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE\u003c\/strong\u003e were brought together late in 1982 by mutual friend \u003cstrong\u003eWill Sergeant\u003c\/strong\u003e, when \u003cstrong\u003ePaul\u003c\/strong\u003e was looking for someone to play a guitar part for a new song he had written. Ian obliged and asked him to return the favour by singing on one of his songs \u003cem\u003eTall Ships\u003c\/em\u003e. When Bunnymen manager \u003cstrong\u003eBill Drummond\u003c\/strong\u003e heard the result, now retitled \u003cem\u003eMy Boyish Days\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDrink To Me\u003c\/em\u003e), he secured the pair a deal with \u003cstrong\u003eArista\u003c\/strong\u003e on the back of it. Care would go on to release three acclaimed singles over the course of a twelve-month period between 1983 and 1984 – \u003cem\u003eMy Boyish Days\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDrink To Me\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eFlaming Sword\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWhatever Possessed You\u003c\/em\u003e – before Simpson, still struggling to come to terms with the break-up of his previous band decided not to continue. Although top 40 success eluded Care in the UK, the group quickly found an adoring fanbase in the Philippines, where all three singles became huge hits. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLove Crowns and Crucifies\u003c\/em\u003e marks the first vinyl release of the previously unheard songs gathered together on 1997’s \u003cem\u003eDiamonds and Emeralds\u003c\/em\u003e CD. Working closely with \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Simpson\u003c\/strong\u003e and with the approval of \u003cstrong\u003eIan Broudie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Mythology\u003c\/strong\u003e has been given access to the original quarter-inch tapes which housed everything that Broudie and Simpson recorded together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
