Mick Hucknall was in the studio we recorded Bully Boy and the 1st version of GFG at. He had a sign on his door “authorised personnel only etc “ so we stuck one on our door “all welcome , kids play area, tombola “ #TimsTwitterListeningParty #AMaximumHigh

Dolphin - 1 of our earliest songs , written around the same time as Around Your House (very similar beat) - an early version of the song had wah-wah guitar in the verse instead of singing - still great to play live & always in the set. 🐬 #TimsTwitterListeningParty #changegiver

Ladyman - 1 of my favourites on the album this. The simple riff over the 4 chords, the lyrics “my heart is broken glass in a plaster cast” & a cool acoustic solo. Fretless bass was a bit harder to play in tune at the end than I anticipated! #TimsTwitterListeningParty #AMaximumHigh

Getting Better - Bang, we were back , this came out in Jan and although WHYBT had only come out about 8 months earlier it prob felt like ages and a relief to get it out and that it did ok! We genuinely did feel rejuvenated and confident. #TimsTwitterListeningParty #AMaximumHigh

I think it’s fair to say the production on the album was a bit primitive and a lot of our gear was pretty basic at that time but the slightly rough round around the edges sound was maybe a part of the appeal. #TimsTwitterListeningParty #changegiver

Dolphin - I don’t think we’ve ever not played this at a gig since 93 ? Over the last few years late we’ve changed the ending a few times to keep ourselves amused. This is me in Fibbers York 92/93 possibly playing it. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Parallel lines-The anticipation and it kicking in is always exciting. James Taylor (JT Quartet) played on this but prob lost a battle a little bit against the guitars! He was a good laugh and did a big line of whizz off his Hammond organ. #TimsTwitterListeningParty #AMaximumHigh

sadly the tour has temporarily ground to a halt at Cardiff. 3 of us have chest infections which is pretty mental but crucially it’s buggered Rick’s voice so there’s no way he can sing til he’s on the mend .. ☹️

1/2 The album cover was made by superimposing a shot of us in a bowling alley onto a stock pic of the ball and pins. It was ludicrously expensive to buy the stock pic outright so we just bought it for sole use in the music industry. #TimsTwitterListeningParty #AMaximumHigh
