Background and Early History
In autumn 1986, Roger (then in Edinburgh) sent a home-recorded cassette of some demos he and Rebecca had made at his home to Red Flame Records in London, which was a small indie record company owned by Dave Kitson. At that time, the duo called themselves R'n'R. Kitson agreed to fund the album, which became Glances Askances. After this first album was released three further singles were released by Red Flame: Because, Bloomsbury Blue, and Stand Together (which received widespread radio play and entered the top 30 UK Indie charts).
Anthony was recruited to the band via an advertisement placed in Melody Maker magazine. Erika Spotswood, a college friend of Rebecca, was added to sing harmony vocals.
