In 1986, Thomas resurrected the band identity, while essentially working as a solo artist. For the 1986 Charlie album "In Pursuit of Romance", Thomas is the only credited band member, though there are some contributions made by session musicians. Thomas wrote, "This was basically a contractual album - Steve had gone off to work with Iron Maiden as a drum tech and John had a job in the telecommunications industry. I ended up making the whole album by myself - it put me in the hospital!"
