In early 1988, the Servants moved to Glass Records, who promised a reasonable budget to record an album. Plans were made to go into the studio with John Brand, producer of Hayes punk band the Ruts. At the eleventh hour, the band were told that Glass distributors Red Rhino had "gone bust". The budget was slashed, and they went into the studio to record the single "It's My Turn". They played some gigs to support the single but Glass delayed releasing the record for a year.
