Pollards Hill, Mitcham, England

Notes
Ian: They came in to record some demos - I'd worked with the Field Mice, and Bob had asked Bobby Wratten where they did their stuff. The original recording was done in January 1990 at my mum's place in Pollards Hill. They'd said they were going to start a group and make records in the 90s - such a stereotypically Saint Etienne thing to say. And so in January there they were.

Ian: As far as I'm concerned they were making a demo! Two songs in an afternoon. We didn't really have much time to think about it. (Source: Foxbase Alpha Deluxe/Special Edition)

Ian: It was amazingly quick. They left clutching their demo and I didn't really expect to see them again. Then two months later they were back. (Source: Foxbase Alpha Deluxe/Special Edition)

The assumption is that the two songs were Only Love Can Break Your Heart and Kiss And Make Up. Vocals for the two songs were done initially by Moira Lambert. Kiss and Make Up would be re-recorded with Donna Savage as vocalist and released in October of this year.
