Singles
The band's most recognized song, "Good Lover", was written when the band were in Milo Studios. The label was asking for a hit and the band hated being asked for just that. They stayed in the studio, did an all-nighter then at 3 am, lead singer Sarah Webb sang the lines that launched the song. "Good Lover" was played across that summer.
"Good Lover" reached No. 11 on the Blues & Soul Top British Soul Singles chart.[2]
