Retrieved 25 March 2013〕 As a duo they released their debut EP, ''The Initial Caress'', on Glass Records in May 1982.〔 Their next release was the "Sun Brings Smiles" single a few months later in 1982 along with the album ''Passionfruit Pastels''. Lindo left shortly after, with Knight alone featuring on the second single "The Living Daylights" in 1983. Knight then recruited former Religious Overdose member Richard Formby.〔 Adding former next-door neighbour Sinatras drummer Joby Palmer, the band's second album ''Too'' was released in 1983.〔 Ex-Tuffs bassist Steve Rees joined this line-up which released two singles - "Your heaven Scent" and "Shouting In Cafes". The latter song was recorded for Glass Records but eventually released on Cherry Red Records. The band's second single on Cherry Red - "This Brilliant Evening" - featured guitarist Clive Dove in place of Formby. The band based themselves in Coventry for most of their time together. Their lineup changed several times with Knight remaining the only constant member and others including Peter Becker of Eyeless in Gaza.〔 Becker played bass, keyboards and various instruments on the band's final two singles - "A Room Upstairs" and "What's Got Into Me?" and on every track of their final album, ''Songs About Snogging'', which was due for release in 1987 by Glass, but was shelved after completion due to financial issues and remains unreleased to this day. Formby was later a member of Spectrum and The Jazz Butcher 〔 and has gone on to be a successful producer, most notably producing two albums for Wild Beasts.〔 Palmer went on to play in Eyeless in Gaza.〔 Guitarist Clive Dove played guitar and bass for many other bands including Russian For Money, bassist Rees went on to play with Marina Del Ray. A selection of the band's recordings for Glass Records were released on the album ''Wanderlust'' in 1986. The band's recordings for Cherry Red appeared several times on compilations released by the label, including five tracks on ''A Fine Day...and a Brilliant Evening: Cherry Red Rarities 1983-1985'', a split album with Jane and Barton and Grab Grab the Haddock released in 2003.〔Unterberger, Ritchie "(''A Fine Day...and a Brilliant Evening: Cherry Red Rarities 1983-1985'' Review )", Allmusic.
