The single received airplay from John Peel and Janice Long resulting in a distribution deal with Revolver Records and a subsequent repress.
In the latter part of 1987 the band recorded five tracks for a shared album with The Sect from Birmingham entitled Soft Lights and Loud Guitars which came out in June 1988 on the Released Emotions label which understandably caused a fair amount of confusion all round.
A week after informing the new member that he had got the job, the band had a gig booked in Fulham so Razor switched to bass for the night and once again Davie found his draft papers on the mat.
RLD returned to Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1994, a twelve date tour climaxing with four hectic days in the studio to record the Nothing At This Moment In Time CD.
English shows were looking up as The Day played their biggest gig to date at the Portsmouth Music Festival in August on Southsea Common, in front of ten thousand people along with Swervedriver and Buzzcocks.
[4] January 1996 found the band back at their favourite studio in Brighton recording Insomnia and Rain for a double A-side single released in August on the Portsmouth label, Mouthy.
Back to Czech Republic in May and June plus UK dates including a repeat Portsmouth Music Festival appearance in August, this time supporting The Damned.
However in November 2001, Razor and Wolfie decided to leave the band to pursue a new musical project, the first change in Red Letter Day personnel in 9 years.
For the Christmas show with The Vibrators and a north-eastern mini-tour in February 2002, Chris Perrin and Steve Marsh from old friends Thirst were drafted in to temporarily fill the vacant positions.
[4] Prior to the north east dates Ade and Daryn sounded out Chris and Steve about the possibility of them joining the Day part-time but on a permanent basis obviously allowing for their Thirst commitments.
The Day continued to play sporadic gigs in England, with the highlight a November date with the UK Subs at the Peel, Kingston, where they impressed a highly partisan crowd.
In June Steve announced he was leaving the band so Jim from Chris Perrins's Zuma project stepped in to play the hometown album launch show in September prior to the worldwide release of Everything Matters in October.
Paul 'Pablo' Farrow auditioned on guitar and immediately joined in late March and the new line-up played a stunning hometown show in July, prior to the birth of Pablo's daughter (which had already been arranged!).
Consequently Chris stepped back in to play shows in West Drayton and Northampton at the end of July prior to Pablo re-taking up the reins.
[4] In October 2021, Red Letter Day announced[5] that a recording session had been booked for November, involving Ade, Daryn, Davie Egan and Micky Jeffrey with gigs potentially to follow.
