A seller, asked JC if he was in a band. Yes he said, he was in The Members. After buying an organ from the seller he took his phone number and asked him to call so I could arrange a time to pick it up. When he got there to collect it, the seller surprised him, “My son in law's got a big tape of the Members - a master tape.”  Then went on to explained that his son-in-law's father used to own a recording studio in London. A few phone calls and months later JC found myself looking at two 1 inch, eight track, Ampex master tapes of The Members recorded in June 1979.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was exciting about these tapes is there was an unreleased track on them a track called “End of Term” that was due to be a follow-up to Sound of the Suburbs. JC had found  the Holy Grail of Member-O-Bilia. The other three tracks were Normal People, Muzak Machine and a song called Gang War. The last three songs were recorded on the second Members album. JC had the tapes transferred onto a hard drive and opened them in his studio. It was a perfect time capsule - all the instruments and voices were clearly recorded on the tape. The songs sounded fresh and vibrant, full of youthful energy. This was The Members Mark 1 at the top of their game. 'End of Term'  was to be the follow-up single to the massive chart hit 'Sound of the Suburbs' But needed to be released just before the end of term to have maximum effect. Because of delays in recording it was abandoned as a single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklisting: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEnd Of Term \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.

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.
