All the songs from the January 1985 session went on to be recorded by Rose & Jill for the album with producer David Motion later in the year, but those synthpop textures are very different arrangements from these performed by a working indie guitar band.

40 years ago this week the UK saw TV adverts for Strawberry Switchblade's Since Yesterday. TV ads for music were very unusual at the time, especially for a single.
Since Yesterday had been in the low end of the charts since late October. As the band garnered more attention, the record label thought that, with a bit of a push, the single could get through Xmas and be a proper hit in the new year. And they were right.
