Pearl in the Shell

"Pearl in the Shell" is the fourth and final single released by musician Howard Jones from the album Human's Lib. Released in May 1984, the song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart. It features a saxophone solo by Davey Payne of Ian Dury's band The Blockheads.

Unlike Jones' previous singles, the 12" single edition did not feature an extended mix of the main track, though an extended mix later appeared on The 12" Album. Instead, the track "Total Conditioning" was an extended version of the song "Conditioning" also taken from Human's Lib, featuring additional lyrics lifted from most of the other songs on that album.
