The only full length release from the 4AD label band, this self-titled LP featured vocals by Lorita Grahame who had previously released one single and sung in church choirs in her native Leicester. Their other notable recordings include The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme in 1986 and Pump Up The Volume, a 1987 collaboration between Coloubox and fellow 4AD label mates AR Kane, released under the name M/A/R/R/S and consisting mostly of sampled music and scratching. Pump Up The Volume, (or at least its' re-mixed, re-release), became a dance club hit in the UK and the US. The litigation that ensued from the sampled music's owners proved to be the death-knell for the band.
