Red Box – For America (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“For America” is a 1986 single recorded by British pop group founded by Simon Toulson-Clarke and Julian Close. The song was taken from their debut LP The Circle & the Square.

During this period the group found themselves at odds with their record company regarding what it perceived as a lack of mainstream appeal in their choice of material, despite the success of of their previous single “Lean on Me” in the UK and Europe.

Toulson-Clarke responded to WEA’s request for something to appeal to American radio with the sardonic “For America”, which criticized what he saw as the style-over-content approach of the American media, as well as alluding to American military involvement in Grenada and Nicaragua. The song was not a hit in the United States, though it did outsell “Lean on Me” worldwide, reaching number one in six countries and the top ten in several others including the UK, where it spent twelve weeks in the chart peaking at number ten.
