Typhoon Saturday : What Do I Do / Fascination Polydor POSP413

Yes, my first proper crack at pop stardom. Recorded at the Producers Workshop in'82, produced by Steve Lindsay (qwho had his own failed career with The Planets". I rememerb the toilet in the studio had "Captain Beakey" wallpaper, sicne that classic was recorded there. Needless to say, we merrily defaced as we sat there. The recording process itself was a huge disappointment, since Lindsey exercised his contrl and we were told to "shut up and do as we're told", by our manager Frank Silver. The end result was 500 miles away from the exciting demo we'd cut in good old Alan & Oz' Input back home in Shefield, being limp-wristed and light-weight.

It got plenty of airplay on local radio and a full page advert in Melody Maker, then promptly stiffed. The B side was much closer to my musical sensibilities, being darker and swathed in echoed guitar. We recorded the follow-up single "Another Fight" at the same sessions.
