I just think it's interesting, because we always hear a lot about how Stevie and Lindsey got dropped from Polydor and felt discouraged and I don't know anything about that early time in Chris' life. Guess she wondered what to do with that sculpture degree.

Christine herself has said Sounds of Blue were a "terrible" band and that she was playing bass. I don't think they had a recording contract. She might even have still been at college at that time. She worked as a window dresser in a London store who's name escapes me at the moment and she got the call to join Chicken Shack. The rest as they say is history.
