Recording Notes:
Writing and recording started on the Wednesday 13th March 1991, as confirmed by Mike Rutherford during a Mike and The Mechanics interview on the ITV breakfast show TV-AM on Thursday 14th March 1991 (often mislabelled as 13th January 1991) this is backed up further by discussions with Gary Wilmot who was the other guest on the TV show talking about Comic Relief being tomorrow (which in 1991 was Friday 15th March 1991).
