Whither Joe Crow?

reddragdiva"Compulsion" by Joe Crow is a song on the Cherry Red label's 1983 compilation album Pillows And Prayers. It's a damn nice little song - available commercially on Cherry Red CDMRED169, Pillows & Prayers 2 [1] - and was covered by Martin Gore of Depeche Mode on his Counterfeit EP several years ago.
Joe Crow was apparently an original member of The Nightingales, after having been in the Prefects with Robert Lloyd. Lloyd and Crow apparently did a band called Terminal Hoedown (The New Four Seasons with Crow added) in 1992 (any recordings?).
Can I find out any other information about Joe Crow? Er, no. Any ideas, kids? Any other crusty old postpunks with clues or pointers? Did he do anything musical at all after "Compulsion"?
(I know there's an Edinburgh band called Little Joe Crow which is unrelated.)
And hey, how's this for old indiepop pr0n.
[1] though the B-side, "Absent Friends", doesn't appear to be available anywhere.
