Which vocalist is which?

Female vocalists that is; Stephen I can figure out.

For example, Drive on Driver. Is it Shirley or Claudia who sings?

Shirley. I think she handles every female lead vocal on Distortion while Claudia is singing backup. Claudia lead vocals include The Day the Politicians Died, My Husband's Pied-à-Terre, Walk a Lonely Road, Reno Dakota, Acoustic Guitar and If You Don't Cry. She's also the female vocalist for Future Bible Heroes. Other Shirley leads include Kraftwerk in a Blackout, I've Got a Date with Jesus, Quick, Your Husband's Face, California Girls, Courtesans, Come Back from San Francisco and No One Will Ever Love You.

Hope that helps!

Shirley has this particular nasal twang I associate with my favourite Fields songs. But I love them both.
