McGough recorded their first single with the aid of Andy Diagram (also Diagram Brothers on trumpet) and Williams Robinson (strings). The single was released in July 1982 on Operation Twilight, and the 12” version followed in August:Something on My Mind (1982)
- Something on My Mind
- Just a Girl
- Lavinia’s Dream
Three, slightly different sleeves were produced, featuring the (original) Operation Twilight logo in black, embossed, or without star graphic. A Crepuscule 12" version (TWI 118) was released in Belgium in a totally different sleeve and with an extra track, Lavinia's Dream
In August 1982 after a series of live performances, Nathan Mcgough quit. According to the press (Masterbag Magazine, July 1982) he was responsible for introducing the band to '60 instrumental arrangers such as Burt Bacharach and Sergio Mendes. This influence combined with Head's admiration for Psychedelic Weast coast bands like Love has since come to be regarded as the distinctive trademark of Pale Fountains' sound.

This is a wonderful song, thank you.
I remember seeing the Pale Fountains several times at the Hacienda in Manchester in the 1980s.
I know Manchester and Liverpool often have a "thing" about each other as cities, but certainly musically, we've always loved bands from the other end of the East Lancs Road. Back then, bands like the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes and Wah used to gig here and regularly be treated as though they were "ours".
