The second A-side track was "Fools Gold" (written by Etch, one of the few tracks in Ghost Dance's discography not written by Marx), and the two B-sides were "Cruel Light" and "Holding On". Nevertheless, it was one of the first tracks the band had written. This track was recorded in Amazon Studios, proving to be the most financially demanding track the band had recorded. They had recruited drummer John Grant, with Daniel Mass from ex- Merciful Release band Salvation providing backing vocals on the A-side track "When I Call". In 1987, Ghost Dance released their final Karbon EP, A Word to the Wise.
The single's producer, Richard Mazda, also played harmonica on the "Cheaper Blues Version". All the tracks on the 12" version are in the key of D minor, hence the subtitle to the single "Suite in D Minor". The 12" single omitted "Where Spirits Fly", and added "Last Train" to the A-side, and "A Deeper Blue" and "The Grip of Love (A Cheaper Blues Version)" to the B-side. The 7" single A-side was "The Grip of Love (Bombay Mix)", and the B-side was "Where Spirits Fly". With the departure of Steve Smith, new guitarist Richard Steel played on this single. "The Grip of Love" was the third single by Ghost Dance to be released in 1986. The drums on this single were programmed by Etch, rather than Marx. After recording this single, he played some more gigs, until his final one in Wolverhampton, when he left the band to concentrate on his own project, Riprize. Steve Smith from Red Lorry Yellow Lorry had been helping the band live and occasionally in the studio, and on this single, contributed by adding backing vocals and extra guitars. The 12" version of the single had a silver sleeve instead of the pale blue of the 7" single, as well as a bonus track on the A-side, a cover of Suzi Quatro's " Can The Can". It was backed with a cover of Golden Earring's hit single " Radar Love". The second single to be released was "Heart Full of Soul", a cover of The Yardbirds' song. Nevertheless, the single was released in early 1986. By Marx's own admission, the sound quality was poor.
History "River of No Return" īassist Paul Etchells was hired, and with a drum machine nicknamed 'Pandora', the band set about releasing their debut 12" single, "River of No Return", featuring a cover of Roxy Music's song "Both Ends Burning".
