Kimberley and Dark soldiered on, recruiting guitarist Mike Darby and bassist Peter Green. In 1981 Darby left and was replaced by The Handsome Beasts founder member James Barrett, who in turn gave way to Steve Makin in 1982. The four-track Electric Sun demo cassette (featuring “Electric Sun”, “Run for Cover”, “Poor Little Rich Girl” and “Getting Hotter”) was made available, but later that year Kimberley and Dark quit and the band was effectively over. During an interview for Classic Rock magazine in 2010, Terry Dark said: “We just seemed to be either a year too early, or a year too late… But whatever the reason things never quite happened for us.” A green vinyl LP titled Jameson Raid , comprising the End Of Part One EP, the Electric Sun demo tracks, the Metal for Muthas take of “Hard Lines” and the unreleased track “Running Blind” from the final 1983 line-up was released as a bootleg and not an official release, although it has become an expensive collector’s item. Both of the EPs featured in the 2010 edition of Record Collector .
