Remember Marian Shepherd building Sold On Dreams up as a return to punk - "dig out your old bondage trousers" - It was gonna be a single. Not that impressed to be honest - it's.....ok.

Yeah, it's o.k, that's all. The PR version is basically him singing along to a backing track. Never heard a version with The Stranglers on. Do any demos exist?

Possibly. Got those demos somewhere but they sounded as rough as fuck. Got them off "CRIPPET" via Napster about 8 years ago. Does he post on here :?:

"By the time you read this the band will be back from their french tour (Where they played to some very appreciative auidences so i hear!) .They are now getting down to some serious work on the next albumwith plans in the pipeline for a tour of the states in may or june.They recorded a brand new track called "Sold On Dreams" just before their UK tour which they had intended as their next single. However in the end the band diddnt feel 100% happy with the recording and has always been their policy,decided to shelve the project rather than release something they werent totally behind just for the sake of pushing out a single.
