In the late 80's a post Colourfield Terry Hall was in search of a female collaborator for his new album for Chrysalis Records. He wanted to pursue a lighter sixties sound and Blair's talent for songwriter and arranging, plus her love of sixties music made her the ideal candidate. This was a great period for Blair as she was taught 'pop sensibility' by one of the most revered British talents. Blair remember's her days in Reno performing with bands and seeing The Specials on TV performing Ghost Town, so you can imagine this was pretty amazing.
After a good few months of writing the time came to put a project together and start recording. Terry wanted another female in the group so Blair had the bright idea of asking her hairdresser if they new anyone that looked interesting and could at least hold a guitar! In comes Anouchka, who thought Terry Hall was Jerry Hall and so it took some persuading to get her to join! And so Terry, Blair & Anouchka were born.
Recordings took place at Tears for Fears studio in Bath, Somerset and much of the album was recorded at The Roundhouse and Air studios in London. Bob Sargeant produced the album which was released in 1988. Two subsequent singles were taken from the album, Missing and Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes.
Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes contains an array of many wonderful songs that shouldn't be kept hidden. To read more about Terry, Blair & Anouchka visit Biog Part 2
