Make It Big was recorded in the sunny south of France,
mixed at Marcadet Studios in Paris, and Good Earth Studios London during July, August and September of 1984.

Our special thanks go as ever to both of our families and all of our friends,
especially to Shirlie, Pepsi, Pat and Cheryl, David, Andros Georgiou and also to Dave and John, and Michael Mole.

We'd also like to thank Simon and Jazz and everybody else at Nomis Management
especially Siobhan without whom we would be lost.

Thank you to Dick and Bryan for al their help in the past year and lastly our thanks to Chris and Paul
for being wonderful to work with and to everyone who played on the album and made MAKE IT BIG such a pleasure to do.
