He went on to produce singles including "Hurry Up Harry" and "If the Kids Are United" and four albums by Sham 69, and it was during this period that he also produced for the Passions ("I'm in Love with a German Film Star") and four albums with the Comsat Angels, including their single "Independence Day".
It was at Polydor that Wilson first worked with Paul Weller (then still with the Jam) on some demos which in turn led to Wilson producing the last Jam studio album, The Gift, and several singles including "Town Called Malice".
