After Captain Sensible came to see The Mourning After at The White Horse, Hampstead he was suitably impressed to ask the band to record an LP for his Deltic record label. In May 1991 they entered Weemeenit Studios, Barnet with Steve Broughton (Edgar Broughton Band) and the Captain at the helm. The following day they left the studio with the recordings you hold in your hands. The idea was to take these original rough mixes away, have a listen, then get back together for a final mix and choose the 12 tracks for the LP. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of both the bands and Captain Sensibles hands this never happened. The master tape was recovered a couple of years later and vocal, backing vocal and guitar tracks were wiped to free up space for overdubs and a release of the LP on Mystic Beat Records (withdrawn ...but thats another story). So here are those original rough mixes with live vocals, guitars and extra backing vocals (including a couple with the Captain) for the first time featuring different versions of some tunes that were later re-recorded and released.
