Several people have asked me to upload the other two tracks from China's album, which were missing from my Channel. I have finally found the last two tracks (thanks to some help from a Spanish friend!), so here they are! This one "Dear You", and the other one "Broken Woman". Unfortunately the audio quality is not so good on this one.... Downloaded mp3 file, which compromised the quality. Sorry about that. I don't have any other copy of this one. Anyone else out there have it?

Elton John's guitarist Davey Johnstone formed a band in the mid-seventies with others associated with The Elton John Band, and called it "China". Elton John co-produced the one album of this band with Clive Franks on Rocket Records. The band consisted of Davey Johnstone on guitars and lead vocals, James Newton Howard on keyboards, Roger Pope on drums, and Cooker Lo Presti on bass. Kiki Dee and Elton himself did some backing vocals.

This song "Dear You" was written by Davey Johnstone and James Newton Howard.
