Rough Trade went bankrupt

The band experienced some hardships leading up to the recording of their second album. In 1991 Rough Trade Records went bankrupt, which caused the band to sign with Parlophone Records in the UK. Their debut went out of print in the UK and would stay that way until 1996. Constant touring coupled with their decision to manage themselves hampered the group’s creative output, which was already slow due to Gavurin and Wheeler, the main songwriters, “being chained by pokiness and perfectionism when it [came] to writing and recording music.” Additionally, the band kept a “low public profile”, which fuelled rumours that the group had disbanded. The Sundays eventually released a new single, “Goodbye”, a minor hit, in Autumn 1992. The release came almost three years after their last UK show. The “Goodbye” B-side, a cover of The Rolling Stones ‘ ” Wild Horses “, also appeared on the US release of Blind as well as in the movie Fear (1996), on the 1999 soundtrack album for the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer , and in the episode 01×01 of the series Friends from College (2017).
