Meeting the band in a chip shop on Soho Road, Birmingham, British Cypriot record producer Kim Nicoloau asked to sit in on a rehearsal and subsequently booked them in for a session at engineer Gary Lucas' Spaceward Studios in Cambridge. 4 tracks in total were laid down over a 2 day period in early December 1980, with Ghetto Children and b-side Dessus Jammin' eventually seeing release shortly after on an extremely limited pressing on Ellie Jay Records (a short lived outfit that provided cheap P\u0026amp;D deals for jobbing bands and producers). The single became a BBC radio \"Hit Pick\" and recevied a fair amount of airplay, yet no further material from the group ever saw the light of day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"333 Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50393573458251,"sku":"2048551","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_5788ab50_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726421459"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/dessus.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
