At a private party in May 1991, Andy Silvester announced that he wanted to leave the band, but he agreed to stay around to help find his replacement. Throughout the summer they played many gigs, with a view to finding a replacement for Silvester, but this led to many guitarists appearing for just one show. Silvester left after a show at Kidderminster Town Hall in September 1991, with Ricky Cool returning to MC the event as well as joining the band on stage. Al Nicholls left the band at the same time, to be replaced initially by Rohan Lopez.
