Care

The story

Formed in Liverpool, UK in 1983 by vocalist and keyboardist Paul Simpson (2) ex-The Wild Swans and guitarist Ian Broudie ex-Big In Japan and Original Mirrors. Very short-lived band whose album "Love Crowns And Crucifies" (a collaboration between the duo with Ian Astbury, Paul Sangster, Tony Wikelan and Alan Wills didn't see the light of day until 2026 due to Simpson and Broudie's opposing musical views and imminent split a year later. A compilation album (released without their permission) featuring all of the band's output plus some of the unreleased demos for the album was retrospectively released in 1997 called "Diamonds And Emeralds".
