Full article:

Terry Hall (vocalist, Fun Boy Three) : By then we ‘d told Chrysalis that we had an album ready though, realistically, we meant one song. Anyway, we thought we’d better do an album, so we’d get a drum machine, create a crappy rhythm, hire lots of percussion instruments and then just mess about with things. The album felt like we were doing a demo and it sounded like that.

It was strange really. We were all really keen on being home for a bit, but we had to go to London to work every day. I remember running for the train one night and falling on the escalator at Euston, gashing my hand. It was all so unnecessary.
