With the departure of Andy, the concensus amongst the rest of us was
to straight-forward the music, to produce something not so dense or
frantic.  It also spelled the end of the Soft Boys, really, because now
it was simply a group playing my songs, whatever they might be.
Beforehand, there had been an unspoken but implicit agreement that
whatever we touched we would turn upside down - like nailing a bed to
the ceiling, or burying a television alive.  Without sloganeering, or
demolishing the traditional features of pop - harmonies, guitar solos,
middle eights, etc. - which were the main symptoms of `New Wave' at the
time, we tried to re-arrange things.  After a while, that approach
failed, and we emerged with "Underwater Moonlight".  There was not much
money in those days, so the whole thing, including the extra tracks
here presented, cost about 1000 pounds, which, back then would have
bought us three days at Olympic getting a snare sound with Steve
Lillywhite.  Hence the low profile of the rhythm section on some
tracks.  Details as follows.

I Wanna Destroy You; Vegetable Man; Strange; There's Nobody Like You;
Where are the Prawns?; Only the Stones Remain; Dreams - 4 track Alaska.

Kingdom of Love; Positive Vibrations; Insanely Jealous; Tonight;
Queen of Eyes; Underwater Moonlight; Black Snake Diamond Rock -
8 track James Morgan.

I Got the Hots; Old Pervert; You'll Have to Go Sideways - 16 track Spaceward.
