After the tour in 79 the band, returned to London, to the gothic mansion 'squat' in S.W.7. that, they were all now living in, relations in the band were breaking down, Wayne and elliot flew back to new York, to form another band, ( Wayne later stating that, Wayne / Jayne had been planning to go solo for some time ). Meanwhile, the three remaining members, in England, VAL HALLER, J.J. JOHNSON and HENRI PADOVANI, sensing the original band was over, decided to continue as THE ELECTRIC CHAIRS and were given four weeks to find a replacement singer, and write an album, and after rehearsing with singers, none of which were suitable, the trio decided to go into the studio at the end of September, and record some tracks with producer, DAVID CUNNINGHAM, resulting in the 7" single:
SO
MANY WAYS with VAL, taking on lead vocals, and J'ATTENDS LES MARINES
with HENRI on lead vocals. The musical direction again, being experimental,
using electronic treatments on the drums, rhythmic, and vocals, with the
technology that was available at the time, and was released in November
1979, by SAFARI RECORDS ( cat no: safe 18. ) receiving a few good reviews,
and airplay in the UK and Europe, but no promotion. The bands instruments
were then impounded, due to apparent financial discrepancies in the bands
affairs, making it impossible to function as a band, coupled, with no
record releases from the company, equals = no records, no instruments,
equals = no music, no music, equals = no gigs, no gigs, equals = no band,
