Despite the setback, Phillips' deal with the US label Passport Records was still active, but the label refused to issue an advance for new music to be recorded and produced, leaving Phillips the option of putting music out that had already been written and recorded. He decided that his next release would be the second instalment of his Private Parts & Pieces album series, the first of which was released in 1978.
