recorded second single (My Baby Does) Good Sculptures

By the time of the single’s release the band had made a decision to turn professional, and had decided to sign to Sire as the label was home at that time to such other rising new wave and punk acts as Talking Heads and the Ramones . Not wanting to give up their professional careers, Smythe and Harris left the group amicably to return to their academic studies, and Mysterious switched to the bass guitar. The slimmed-down five-piece band recorded their second single, “(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures”, and its B-side “Flying Saucer Attack” in the more professional surroundings of REL Records studio in Edinburgh in October 1977. Due to their recent signing “Good Sculptures” was not released on Sensible Records as originally intended, but became the group’s first release on Sire instead. This grazed the lower reaches of the UK Singles Chart , and contained different versions of the songs found on the album release. The single was also released in the Netherlands, where the two sides of the record were reversed and “Flying Saucer Attack” was made the A-side.
