    On this day
    1984
    The Firm recorded our first album at The Sol

    The Firm’s first album mixes were completed at the Sol Studios, Cookham in Berkshire. Paul and I had written material and then took it further to the studio with The Firm. Today marks the finish of some final mixes for this project that was soon to tour; ‘Closer’, ‘Make Or Break’, ‘Someone to Love’, ‘Together’, ‘Radioactive’, ‘Money Can’t Buy’ and ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’.

    We did two videos as promos – Radioactive filmed at Hammersmith Odeon in London and Satisfaction Guaranteed, recorded on the last day of the first leg of an American tour. I chose to put this video up because it features Les Paul in the role of the convivial barman chatting up the ladies.
