By 1987, Cold Storage Studio had been upgraded with a 24-track desk and Thatcher on Acid returned to record this their debut album for All The Madmen. However, their drummer Martin left soon after and was replaced by Andi Tuck. Fortunately, the band managed to open the 'Gathering of the 5000' show at Brixton Academy with Conflict before Curdled was released, which greatly boosted their profile.
