\nlike a lot of ‘concept’ albums in that it didn’t really have a concept -at
\nleast not then…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nlistening to a lot of our favourite records –not just music. We’d decided that
\nwe were going to make an album with links between the songs and try and make a
\ncomplete body of work rather than just a collection of different songs as we’d
\ndone <\/span><\/span>previously.
\nThis completely took us over for a year –and it was meant to be our
\nmasterpiece, although we were still learning the recording process… So we set
\nup all of our musical equipment (plus a television and record player) in John
\nO’Boil’s ‘Boiling Point’ Studio and worked for several weeks in the summer of
\n1980 on the recordings that were to become ‘Huh?’<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwriting a lot of songs by now and one of his songs is pivotal to the album
\n(‘Superella’). He sang lead vocals on this for the first time and on another
\nsong as well. I was still writing a lot of songs and also collaborating with
\nPete and Gordon who was writing as well. So we had lots of songs and another
\ndrummer called Joe but still no concept. It was only when I was compiling the
\n‘Extinction 1979-82’ CD that I realised just what the concept was and that we’d
\nnot understood what we’d made with ‘Huh?’ <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nwas only finally completed with ‘Little Russia’ which was a song that I wrote
\nthe year after we’d finished ‘Huh?’ but sums up the album’s concept. The
\n‘ThreeE.P.’ tracks from the same period also dovetail nicely into the work.
\nWe’d all been living through the horrors of Mrs. Thatcher’s 1980’s Britain.
\nThese were oppressive, depressing, hopeless times when people’s only escape was
\nthrough the screen of a television, a disc on the record player or the
\nintervention of a super hero maybe …this was a job for ‘Superella’ though we,
\nnow know, that ‘she’ never came…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
