From the back cover:
A FEW HANDY THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ALBUM
...
Our first single recorded at Fairdeal 8-track studio in Hayes May '78. Originally to be released as an e.p. with a considerably slower version of Society on it til now on Misty's own label People Unite.
....
We included Love In Vain on this record because nobody listened to it as the B-side of Staring At The Rude Boys and in case you didn't hear the A-side....
Produced and engineered (for Dukeslodge Enterprises) at Air and Townhouse Studios February '80. Brass added later.
Demolition Dancing/Secret Soldiers....
Taken from the last  we did aound February '80. (Thanks to John and the BBC).
Produced, engineered on 8-track at Maida Vale Studios. This was the only occasion Secret Soldiers was recorded.
West One (Shine On Me)......
The backing track was recorded in a 16-track in Shepherds Bush, but we don't talk about it. The engineer was OK tho'.
Overdubs and mixing engineered at the Townhouse.
SUS/Babylon's Burning/Society....
Recorded live, CHORUS late 1979. Mixed live onto 2-track, so no overdubs whatsoever.
