After the success of their debut album and a one-off single, a cover version of George Gershwin's "Summertime," the Fun Boy Three went into the studio in late 1982 with David Byrne (Talking Heads) as producer.
The album contains the singles "The More I See (The Less I Believe)," "The Tunnel of Love" and "Our Lips Are Sealed." The latter was co-written with Jane Wiedlin of The Go Go's, who supported the Specials on their 1980 tour of the UK. The album took on a more sophisticated sound and lyrical content, dealing with political issues such as the troubles in Northern Ireland. It also includes a cover version of the Miss Marple theme tune from the 1960 film series Murder She Said, starring Margaret Rutherford.
The album reached #14 in the British charts in February 1983, followed by a tour after which the band disbanded.
This remastered edition of the album is released on blue 180g vinyl with a glossy sleeve and printed interior.
