Edinburgh musicianPaul Haig 's third album and was released in May 1989 on Circa Records, a subsidiary ofVirgin Records . "Chain", which Haig financed himself, was recorded and completed in 1988, but it sat on the shelf after the normally accommodatingLes Disques Du Crepuscule decided not to take up the option of releasing it. The album was co-produced by long-time Haig cohort,Alan Rankine , instrumentalist with celebratedDundee band, The Associates. There was another Associates connection on the album. The track "Chained" was written by Paul's good friend,Billy Mackenzie . Paul returned the favour and gave Billy the track "Reach The Top" for his album The Glamour Chase, which after many years in limbo was finally released in 2002.One single, "Something Good", was taken from the album, but much to Circa's disappointment, neither the single or the album sold in great numbers.
The sleeve features a shot of

Cherry Red Records in November 2007.Track listing - 1989 release
