Private Lightning formed in the late 70s and gradually built an audience in and around Boston. So before long, record company scouts were wooing them and a bidding war erupted. They signed a seven-figure deal with A&M, convinced it was the right move because of the way A&M had broken both Joe Jackson and the Police. But the record company didnt like the bands choice of producers and brought in someone else. The band hated the mix of the album, but were excited to have the songs released. And in 1980, the record finally came out and got quite a lot of airplay in New England, including WBCN.
