the first reissue of this 2 CD collection of this essential and much requested
80's album 'An Inward Revolution'. It was originally released on MCA Records

• The band owe their existence to Paul
Weller, who offered through a competition in Smash Hits magazine the prize of
singing backing vocals with The Jam. Vocalist Julie Hadwen entered the
competition and received a phone call from Paul Weller inviting her to meet him
at his studio. There he put her together with songwriter Tony Burke and the
band were born. They contributed to Weller's Respond Records compilation Love
The Reason along with Tracie, The Questions and A Craze.

but signed to MCA Records. The band released one album and four singles for the
label over the period 1985-86.

• The CD booklet features all of the
original album artwork and has been expanded to include comprehensive sleeve
notes written by vocalist Julie Hadwen - sharing her memories of the day! Also
included is a pictorial UK Discography and other memorabilia from the band's
archives.
