'Grip' sessions that would produce their first single for
United Artists at TW recording studio with producer Martin

| Today The Boys naively signed a five-year deal with NEMS and became the 2nd UK punk band (following the Stranglers) to sign an album deal (The Damned had a one-single deal with Stiff and the Sex Pistols had been sacked by EMI). Although Polydor, a major label, offered to buy out their contract NEMS wouldn't allow it so The Boys were left to make the best of NEMS obvious limitations. |
