Jerry Dammers wanted to produce it for the band, but pressure from Chrysalis (who looked after the 2 Tone label) caused The Bodysnatchers to record the more commercial "Let's Do Rock Steady."

Due to musical and some personal differences, The Bodysnatchers disbanded after a year, and some members went on to form The Belle Stars; while remaining on friendly terms with The Belle Stars, founder member and bass guitarist Nicky Summers chose to work with Rhoda.

Rhoda Dakar and Jerry Dammers started working on "The Boiler" but then another project caught Jerry Dammers' attention (Dance Craze the live British ska concert movie), so "The Boiler" was again put on hold.

Rhoda has stated remembering recording her part of the song in the studio about a year before its release, a long and difficult process.

After going on tour with Rico Rodriguez, they also recorded "Jungle Music," this time with Horace Panter on bass.

The song with “the difficult message” received limited radio-play because of its subject, but still it managed to reach number 35 in the charts.

It was broadcast twice; but the second time, the footage from the TV collage was taken out because of copyright problems, and substituted by a simulated silhouetted rape in a dark alley.
