Recording and Release
The album was recorded in at least two (possibly three) separate session sequences. One (or two) with Jonny Toobad on drums and another with Kevin Wilkinson on drums.
Given the tour dates above, the departure date of Toobad and the stated commitment (on the album sleeve) to work together between the following dates;
- Period 1: 19 March to July 22
- Period 2: September 8 to September 24
- Period 3: November 10 to December 4
Then we can deduce that;
- The first sequence of recording sessions may have begun in early June during the break between Parts 1 and 2 of the tour,
- A second sequence may also have book-ended the September dates of Part 3 of the tour,
- The final sequence of recording sessions must have occurred after the tour had concluded.
The album was then released in February 1981 in the UK, Japan, France and the USA as well as Germany and Italy.

Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or release:
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
