  1. FALLING

Recorded By: Gary Birtles & John Barrow

Notes : Recorded at Woodbine Studio – Leamington Spa 1983 – Produced by John Rivers. This was originally due to be released as a single for Albion Records back in 1983 but was put on hold when a deal with Virgin Records was brokered for us by Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. The deal unfortunately fell through so the release was sadly shelved.
