Strawberry Switchblade backstage at Reading University, 42 years ago today, 12 Nov 1983.
Jill: ‘That was our dressing room – we had to get ready in the public toilets! There we are with a table of beer & crisps in the toilet. The glamour!’

It was part of a short tour with a new 5-piece line up. Rose & Jill were augmented by Simon Booth/Emmerson (guitar), John Cook (bass) & Roy Dodds (drums). They did a bunch of gigs, a BBC Janice Long session & 2 tracks produced by Robin Millar that were meant to be the start of the album.
Then the band junked the backing musicians and went for electro production with David Motion instead, and the rest is history.
