Steve Lillywhite to make a recording of their best numbers. This recording would ultimately get them a record deal, and subsequently lay in a cupboard untouched for 45 years. but it also stands as a record of their unique sound recorded at The first black owned studios in UK, Eddy Grant’s coach house studios. This record has it all, the first studio recording of Sound of the suburbs and most of the tracks from the first album. There is something of the crossroads of this record. The band was standing on the edge of their biggest record. The studio was standing on the edge of the biggest hit and Steve Lillywhite was at the beginning of a huge career. Because he was working in a bank at the time..JC couldn’t make it to the backing vocal sessions, so his brother Meesh and future World Domination Enterprises bass player, Steve Jameson sang backing vocals!
