In the Autumn of 1989 the lads relocated to their squalid Bolingbroke Studios and created what was to become their most succesful album to date, with instant classics like What's The New Mary-Jane?, I Don't Want To Be A Pop-Star and Mad Cow.

They were joined, for this album and their next, by Claire Gibbs who wrote The Fish and City Life and provided many backing vocals.
