However, just as their first album was ready for release, for reasons that remain obscure, Rhodes sacked all the band (except Godard) and Subway Sect mark 1 ceased to exist. The album was never released, although a single from the sessions "Ambition" was remixed and released on Rough Trade Records, with the B-side "Different Story (Rock and Roll Even)" also taken from the same sessions. "Ambition" was ranked at No. 15 among the top "Tracks of the Year" for 1978 by "NME". A further track "Parallel Lines" was released as a track on the "C81" cassette produced by "NME" magazine. Since then, some monitor copies of tracks from the lost album have come to light on various Subway Sect compilations, including a Motion Records' "20 Odd Years" double album anthology, and a CD and CD/EP set "We Oppose All Rock And Roll" on Overground Records. Any copies of the actual album tapes appear to no longer exist.
