>From Bill Drummonds book `17`..p 234
`Spring 1985. I am sitting in my office at WEA Records in Broadwick Street Soho staring out the window wondering wether I was now a corporate arsehole or wether i genuinley looked cool in my new Paul Smith suit, when this bloke walks in unnanounced. A bloke that I have never seen before and he starts talking to me like he has known me all his life. He starts telling me how he used to manage the Specials, that he had spent Christmas with Michael Jackson and he is about to be the biggest thing in Pop music in the 1980`s and then he started going on about steam trains and why the Beatles were still the greatest pop band ever (`until they went weird`)...I asked him if he wanted a cup of tea and what his name was. He said yes to the first question and Pete waterman to the second.....
That night at the Wag Club this band called Brilliant sounded shit. They had been formed by Youth the bass player from Killing Joke. I had only signed them because my friend and sometime work partner David Balfe was managing them and Youth could talk a good band. The band had two bass players for some reason that only Youth could defend. They had a guitarist who wanted to be Jimmy Page, a drummer who drummed, and a keyboard player who mde keyboard sounds. The songs were a dreary mush of white boy funk but they had this singer who was this striking black girl with a husky but fragile voice.
Pete waterman turned up halfway through their set. He immediatley came up to me and before he had heard one complete song he said they were shit but if I would sack the band but keep the singer and give him £3,000 next week, he knew just the song she could sing and we would have a top 10 hit in a matter of weeks. Then he left.
Next morning he was back in my office. `Have you sacked the band yet?`............
....We shook hands on the deal. Then he told us another thing. He woudn`t be wanting Youth or the guitarist who wanted to be Jimmy Page playing on the record........
.......................We were met by Waterman who introduced us to his boys Matt and Mike, and told us the track was sounding brilliant and only needed the vocals to complete it, and could he get his other £1,500 in the morning? We still didn`t know what the song was and Youth and Jimi were having an understandable artistic crisis about the fact that a record was being made that was to be released under their group name that they had not written or played a note on and that they didn`t as yet have any idea what the song was...`

Absolutely horrendous. But so bad it's good. It has everything awful about the time chucked in there and it must have been a hoot. Bits of it remind me so much of This is what you want era pil (bass and production).
Reminds me why I never bought any of it at the time!!!!

The 12? singles are like the song Brilliant by Killing Joke compared to the album.

I'd been blissfully unaware of this for 31 years, but just one click and
now I can
never un-see it. Remarkable stuff, they must have had a laugh with those
dance moves.

Effing terrible song that one, ?That?s the look, the look of Love!? Given a Stock Aitkin and Waterman doing over up a dark alley.
Noticed the only Youth produced track on the album wasn?t on Youtube, I have now corrected that.

Speaking of Cauty - funnily enough I'd just finishing watching (well, skimming) this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1snD2zm1pBQ
...which is referenced at the beginning of this:
https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2017/jan/05/klf-comeback-bill-drummond-jimmy-cauty
There's a fair bit of synchronised guitar larking in the latter parts of the video (Doctorin the Tardis, etc etc)
