Strawberry Switchblade wincing in the blazing London sunshine of summer 1983. It's the day they signed to WEA Records & they're in St Christopher's Place having a meal with manager David Balfe.

Trees & Flowers was re-recorded for a BBC John Peel session in October 1982 & it was that track which led Bill Drummond & David Balfe to become Strawberry Switchblade's managers & producers, releasing a further new version as the debut single in July 1983.

And the Liverpool Echo talked about the subject matter of Trees & Flowers - Jill Bryson's agoraphobia - & the fact that the single was 'produced by the Scouse mafia' of Bill Drummond & David Balfe.
