The band had been achieving critical acclaim since 1979, although "German Film Star" was their only chart hit effectively making them "one hit wonders". The single made it to no. 25 in the UK charts.
The band also made TV appearances on 'alternative' music shows such as the Old Grey Whistle Test and Oxford Roadshow and recorded three sessions for the John Peel Show.
