Records / Polydor in March 1979. Early versions of "The Only Thing She Needs", "Caesar's Palace Blues" and "Carrying No Cross" (which had the opening chords to "Danger Money" in its intro)[2] had been performed on tour throughout 1978 by the band's original line-up with Bill Bruford and Allan Holdsworth.
