(PER ARTICLE BELOW)

PLEASE READ ARTICLE HERE

On the 25th February 1982, the Sprouts went into a local recording studio, and laid down two tracks - 'Lions In My Own Garden' and 'Radio Love,' funding this session with money Martin had earned from two months work as a night watchman.  The title of 'Lions' spelled out LIMOGES, a place in France where Paddy's girlfriend had gone to study.  Paddy had allegedly been writing the name on an envelope when he had the idea to make it an acrostic.

Using money saved from gigs, the band had a thousand copies of the single produced and released on their own label, 'Candle Records' - the motto being 'the wax that won't get on your wick.'  Most copies of the single can now be found in Martin's attic.  The band resumed gigging to promote the single, with Wendy Smith - a regular attendee at Sprout gigs - providing backing vocals.  She was a pleasant contrast to the rough, punk-like vocals Paddy was using at the time (which wouldn't last.)

There is a slight surface mark (1 cm) on side A

which looks like it's from manufacturing
