Workforce - BBC Radio John Peel Sessions

If you've been following this blog over the past few years, you'll know of the two Workforce singles. Those who haven't, should be able to find them in earlier pages. For the initiated, Workforce were a five-piece industrial funk outfit from Sheffield, who managed just two 12" singles released in 1985/6. Key members were former Cabs and Hula drummer Alan Fisch, ex-The Box member Terry Todd and vocalist Paul Wheatcroft who would later move on to form one half of pop-dance outfit Ashley & Jackson.
The band recorded two Peel sessions, both of which featured unreleased music by the band and which never saw commercial release.
