When the band returned to the UK, Shaun got hold of the master tapes for the album, threatening to destroy them if Tony Wilson and Factory Records did not pay him for them. When Factory did finally get hold of them (for £50), the recordings contained no vocals (since Shaun failed to write any lyrics while in Barbados), which meant the whole exercise was a waste of time and money for Factory. Shortly after the album was finally released, Factory Records was officially declared bankrupt.
