Info on track 5 "Little Sun, Little Rain" from the info sheet: "Recorded in Soho, London. I seem to recall it was quite a small studio. This and 'Help' were recorded along with a load os songs that did make it onto 'Laser Love' just before we signed to CBS and they paid us to go and record a handful of songs. In 2 days we recorded about 15 songs and I remember them complaining they only wanted us to come up with 3 or 4! We were so practised as a band we just turned in and recorded our live set songs from start to finish. This song [Little Sun, Little Rain] has always been a bit of a favourite with fans and band alike. Back in those days when you could only squeeze a certain time per side on vinyl it became the one that got away and was never released until now!"

Info on track 6 "Helpless" from the info sheet: "Clever eared folk will have realised this is the bridging instrumental break in our live performances of the Lennon/McCartney classic, Help! We were restricted from using the full version with the vocal section as this was to be a special freebie Bonus CD. I called upon the skills of Peter J Dixon who created this Aggressive Rhubard edit for us in January 2005. Originally recorded in the same session as 'Little Sun' and didn't make it past the selection committee."

Peter Banks told in the liner notes to the 2025 6-CD Box "Bright Lights - 1974-1983": "We started working on '80-f' and this would turn out to be one of the low spots for the band, one that we try and not focus on! Having chosen our own producer, Tony Mansfield of New Musik fame, we went into his local studio [T.M.C. Studios] in South London and recorded with Nick Brotherwood on drums. The album was mastered, sleeve design complete and even some [copies] pressed up when we were called into the CBS boardroom and informed it would be dropped. We were simply told it was not good enough and we needed to go away and write three 'hit singles' to replace some of the tracks on the album."

This planned tracklist is revealed on a test pressing: https://www.discogs.com/release/15004826-After-The-Fire-80-f

"This acetate is a proto version of the album that became 80-f, recorded by Tony Mansfield before April 1980. Nick Brotherwood provided Drums as Ivor Twydell had left at the end of 1979. When completed, the album was presented to CBS, who rejected it. They subsequently sent the band off to Germany, with ex-Fly's drummer Peter King, to complete the album with producer Mack, who rebuilt the album. Three songs were dropped (Another World / Operator / Satellite In Orbit) and three new songs were added (Wild West Show / Why Can't We Be Friends / Joanne). Also dropped was the reprise of Starflight. T"

Tony Mansfield also produced another track "Why Can't We Be Friends" during these sessions.

In 2025 seven of these unreleased Tony Mansfield-produced tracks were finally released in the 6-CD Box "After the Fire: Bright Lights - 1974-1983: Starflight, It's High Fashion, Another World, Operator, Love Will Always Make You Cry, 1980-F and Satellite in Orbit (leaving out Can You Face It?, Who's Gonna Love You, Billy Billy, Starflight Reprise and Why Can't We Be Friends).

4. Operator 3.56 [demo version]
5. Little Sun, Little Rain (Laser Love Outtake) 3.06
6. Helpless (Laser Love Outtake) 2.08

Info on track 1 "Love Will Always Make You Cry" from the info sheet: "Recorded early 1980 just after Ivor had left the band. This therefore features Nick on drums and I think it is a great version! I love the fact that the playing is exuberant, we are clearly enjoying playing the song as indicated by the number of repeats at the end! The take is an early rehearlsal take during the sessions that would lead to the first version on the 80-f album. We have left all the blips and blops at the beginning so shows how we start up and get into the groove before the song starts and the vocals come in. Would love to try and remember the variation I played in the first few bars!"

Info on track 2 "Another World" from the info sheet: "This was one of the first songs to get written for 80-f along with the up tempo 1980-f instrumental. In fact the play on words on 1980-f was the title we were desperately trying to think of in 1979 for Timestar as the new decade approached. So we thought of it too late and I had the idea of the 80-f and for ages our press department at CBS never understood it! Another World features classic Andy Piercy lyrics with their wonderful dual meaning - look deeper and you find a whole lot more! Quite moody and emotional this is an early rough mix from the 80-f recordings."

Info on track 3 "Satellite in Orbit" from the info sheet: "What can I say about this one! Thrash power pop....? Another rough mix of a song that wasn't to make it in the end. Listening now there are quite a few links lyrically that tie it to those early 80s. Nice change into the middle bridge section and some wicked use of the wonderful Yamaha CS-80 Ring Modulator controls (for the technies!)."

Info on track 4 "Operator" from the info sheet: "How anachronistic this song is! Having spent time listening and checking through a lot of the ATF catalogue recently I generally feel our stuff is not dated. Operator, however, is an obvious exception. It is SO Buggles! This is a version we recorded in readiness for our 2nd CBS album and is clearly influenced by the times. Interestingly this demo was only recorded weeks after Video Killed the Radio Star was released, but the influence is clear. Tony Mansfield was a massive Buggles fan and that influence can also be heard in the New Musik repetoire. I remember we spent ages recording the telephone itself, we didn't use a sound effect, then we altered the speed and recorded the telephone again to give a slightly different pitch. Nowadays it would just be a 10 minute job."
