(You Don't Know) The Meaning Of The Word
(Wingfield, Pringle)

Hmmm. Sm-o-o-o-o-o-o-th Soul. Nice. Pete Wingfield and I can't even pretend we had half a tongue in our cheeks when we cut this because, let's face it, we LOVE the stuff. Me on guitar, Pete on the rest. Check out the broody warbling pigeon towards the fade.

Never Miss A Good Thing ('Til It's Gone)
(Wingfield, Pringle)

(We just love) song titles with brackets in them. This is the sound of two white men in Bow pretending, collectively, to be Sam Dees. Me on bass and guitar, Pete on...

No Way
(Wingfield, Pringle)

Featuring Michelle Jones on lead vocals, this was written to order... but I can't remember who for! They obviously didn't use it. Whoever it was. A rather more, er, 'contemporary' approach from Pete'n'I.

One Two Three
(Pringle, Colyer)

The funk-rock revolution continues here. What is it with black singers? There they are, with all kinds of groovy musical heritage behind them, and all they want to do is sing hairy-arsed rock'n'roll. Think Lenny Kravitz. And think Michelle Jones. The brief was R&B with VERY loud guitars. Which I get to play, with no little glee.

Is It Any Wonder? (Pringle, Colyer)

Power Ballads? We got 'em. The companion piece to 'One Two Three', this has more loud guitars, but much slower. I always rather fancied the idea of Cher covering this, but if she had I wouldn't be talking to you, would I? No, I'd be snorting coke off some 17-year-old's tits by the pool of my Beverly Hills Hacienda. But she didn't, so I'm not. Probably just as well.

Don't Go To Strangers
(Evans, Kent, Mann)

Michelle Jones and I did this old favourite (covered by Etta James and Chaka Khan, among others) for fun. If your idea of fun is spending days trying to work out all those expensive chords. No Jazzer moi. Dig that hand-played drum machine, daddio.
