In December 1986, the band finally got permission to tour in the US. By this time The Ghost of Cain , produced by Glyn Johns , had been released, and was named best album of the year for 1986 in The Times by David Sinclair, who said that it “was the best thing to happen to English rock music since the first Clash album”. Concerts included the Reading Festival and a gig with David Bowie in front of the Reichstag in Berlin, and the band for the first time expanded their touring line-up to include a second guitarist in the shape of Ricky Warwick , as well as harmonica player Mark Feltham from blues band Nine Below Zero .
