The band's live show and Radio 1 sessions for John Peel and Mark Goodier, and the first two Clif Brigden produced singles raised expectations, but their debut album, Quality Street (1991), met with little critical or commercial acclaim.
Work began on a follow-up album and there were plans for further touring, but problems emerged when Ogden decided that he no longer wanted to sing.
Gordon King, James Fry and Nick Sanderson went on to form Earl Brutus in 1993 with Rob Marche (formerly of Joboxers and Subway Sect) and Stuart Boreman.
Tony Ogden died on 26 July 2006, in Bramhall, Stockport,Greater Manchester,[3] on the verge of a return to the music industry with Bubblegum Secret Pop Explosion.
Quality Street was reissued with bonus tracks on CD and heavyweight vinyl by British independent record label 3 Loop Music in 2013.
