I think Geordies guitar resonates beautifully of days yonder with tracks like 'Promobile"

 When I say parties... just me and a few mates sat in a room, with me controlling the stereo.

                  Yes... 30 years... blimey.                   

 I think you were going to better parties than I was, Neil...

 30 years.. jesus christ. I have very fond memories of that time - I think every party                             

 I went to throughout that year, Night Time was playing on a loop, LLB and Eighties                            
 were all over the airwaves, and the band                            

 were riding the crest of the wave, before it all went, well, you know.                           

 And in total contrast to a lot of the indie band snobbishness at the time,                           

 as in 'I don't want my favourite band to be discovered by the masses', I think                           

 KJ fans were excited to see them hitting the mainstream/big time - I know I was,                           

 if only because it raised the likelihood of them appearing on establishment TV shows                           

 and Jaz enraging the nation in some way.                           

 Although I never really liked the LP artwork... I found it a bit angsty, hamming it up.                          
 In hindsight it was certainly a sign that egos were coming to the fore. The Das Boot thing is                          

 interesting - what a metaphor for being in Killing Joke!                          

 Have certainly never seen any other pics from that session - would like to now.                          

 And good luck with the work situation Alex

 According to most knowledgable sources, NIGHT TIME was released thirty years ago this month (although I can’t find an actual date).                           

 I’ve always been curious as to the cover shoot. According to Big Paul, it was inspired by the film “Das Boot” … the claustrophobia of being on a submarine (although that’s purportedly a backdrop the gents are standing in front of).                           

 I’d love to see the other outtakes from the photo session. Anyone ever reach out on that front?
