Wrong End of the Race is the final studio album by the English band Any Trouble, released in 1984.[1][2] The original LP release was a double album.[3] The band supported it with UK and North American tours.[4]
Recorded in New York and London, the album was produced by Will Birch and John Wood.[5][6] "Baby, Now That I've Found You", released as a single, is a cover of the song made famous by the Foundations.[7][8] "Learning the Game" was written by Buddy Holly.[6] The rest of the songs were written by bandmembers Clive Gregson and Nick Simpson.[9] "Open Fire", "Playing Bogart", "Turning Up the Heat", and "Yesterday's Love" are remakes of older Any Trouble songs.[10] Gregson was influenced primarily by Richard Thompson, who sang and played guitar on "Lucky Day", "Open Fire", and "Baby, Now That I've Found You".[11][4] Any Trouble used a horn section and strings on some of the tracks.[12] "Lovers Moon" features Cajun music-inspired accordion and fiddle.[13] The Sutherland Brothers provided backing vocals on a few tracks.[5]
