    Caught in the Crossfire is the debut solo album by the English rock musician John Wetton, released in 1980 by E.G. Records. Featuring guitarist Martin Barre (ofJethro Tull), drummer Simon Kirke (ofBad Company), as well as saxophonist Malcolm Duncan (ofAverage White Band), whom Wetton had played with in Mogul Thrash. The album's release took place during a transitional period in Wetton's career, after he had left U.K. but before he joined Wishbone Ash and then formed Asia.

    "When Will You Realize?" had been previously recorded by U.K., and released as the B-side of the "Night After Night" single in 1979. Also, the chorus of "Woman" had been reworked in 1974 as an instrumental passage on "Fallen Angel" from King Crimson's then-final album, Red.

    Caught in the Crossfire has been reissued numerous times with various album covers. The artwork of the original UK vinyl edition was designed by Hipgnosis art studio. In the U.S., the album was first released in early 1986 by Jem Records.[2]
