Note: "My idea was to go into the studio and record 100 songs, then release the best ones as one album. By the time I recorded the tracks that were on the album and a few others Creation said that I'd spent too much money in the studio and they had to have something to release straight away. That's one of the reasons the album was so short. The album was never really finished." From "The Last Bandit" autobiography by Nikki Sudden (Arcana 2011).

"We did the soundcheck and I went back to the hotel, took a bomber [amphetamine pill] and immediately fell asleep. Next thing I know I'm being woken up, "Nikki, it's midnight! You were supposed to be on stage five minutes ago!" I pulled my boots on and staggered downstairs, out on the streets and to the club. The place was totally packed! [...] I took a bottle of Moët [champagne] and poured it into a glass. I downed it and we went out. The first number we played was Road Of Broken Dreams. After the second song I turned to Rowland -who was in the same state as me- and asked, "What shall we play next?" "Do Road Of Broken Dreams. That always goes down well!" We played the song three times during the set... During the long spoken bit in the middle of Death Is Hanging Over Me I took off my guitar and lay on the stage kissing the most gorgeous girl in the audience. The band doodled away. I said I'd see her later... The gig finished and I went backstage and downed another bottle of champage. Went out and found the girl. Found her out on the street... the night air hit and I passed out. Next thing I know I'm waking up in my hotel bed. Rowland got off with the girl!
