"One Sunday afternoon in 1990, I had a phone call from
Keith
saying that Sarah Records had received the demo cassette the two of us had recorded on a 4-track in a friend's shed and were interested in putting out two of the songs as a single. They were 'Clearer' and 'Alison'. Delighted by this news, we booked some recording time with a studio we'd regularly used in our previous incarnation as Feverfew, the White House in Weston-super-Mare. This was the first time we'd ever played a note of music that was using someone else's money, so the pressure was being felt. We recorded 'Clearer', 'Fearon', and 'Chelsea Guitar', with 'Clearer' becoming Sarah 55, the first of eight singles for the band across two labels. At that time, we were still toying with a name for ourselves and had settled with the
Art Bunnies
. While driving us back home from Weston, though, I declared that I really couldn't see how people would take us seriously with a name like that. Disappointed, Keith (Girdler) then got out a piece of paper upon which he'd written several other contenders. These included 'Opal Trumpet', the 'Smiling Monarchs', and (thankfully), 'Blueboy'." A Colourful Storm presents
Blueboy
's singles collection and the band's final retrospective release. Beautiful gatefold sleeve designed by Sarah Records' own
Matt Haynes
with original artwork insert, postcard, and liner notes by
Paul Stewart
. Gatefold sleeve, artwork insert, postcard.
