Windows
were formed in 1980 by Roddie Gilliard (guitars, keyboards, voice, percussion,
former Afraid of Mice), basically a solo project carried out through the aid of
session musicians. The first release by the band − this time with Madtrax the
Tank-driver on drums and Omega the Rainmaker on sax − was a rendition of When
the Music’s Over for the compilation A Trip to the Dentist in May 1980. Almost
a year later the band released their first fully fledged single, with Steve
Cockrill (keyboards, guitar, vocals, from Geisha Girls) and Dave Morton (bass,
guitar, keyboards and vocals), in August 1981:

Hill’s review of the single reads as follows:
‘Watch out,
‘Ghost Town1’ This is spooky, has character, is bound to be hated by anybody
who is allergic to ‘created’ sound, but has an A-side to compel the rest,
whatever they make out of the typical Windows fuzzy-dub-without-the-reggae on
the other side. I had hopes of this signle and wasn’t disappointed’ (Merseysound
#17, August 1981).
