Comments: "Recording "..Fun & Games.." was a lot of fun, a lot of hard work for all involved, a somewhat intense and at times surreal experience and a long steep learning curve. Would I do things differently if I could go back? Yeah ....Probably.

I mean it's a fact that we were absolutely wasted for a considerably larger portion of the recording time than is probably a good thing. We were buying this Danish bottled beer called 'Faxe' that a local off-licence was selling off for 50p a bottle because it was three or four months out of date. It was rocket fuel. You'd go blind for a few days after you started drinking it but once you built up a level of it in your system you were fine. But it was crazy carry on in retrospect. Certainly by the time we finished it (the record -not the Faxe) I was drinking to feel normal.

I find it a strange record to listen to now. It just sounds a bit disjointed. I mean some of the recordings are really raw and some are almost over-produced. I really like all but one of the songs on it - Wizard Prang which I think dragged the credibility of the whole record into question. As a collection of songs I don't know if they sit that well together. What it probably needed was the steadying hand of an independent  producer that all involved had faith in to pilot or navigate it through because certainly there were differing agendas in the melting pot." Niall Quinn 2001

"I remember we considered just over forty songs that we'd put down in one form or another. Then we had a marathon listening session and a vote on what songs we wanted on the record and the twelve with the highest number of votes would get the nod to form the content of the LP. I think I got about four of my first twelve onto the LP and wasn't a happy camper at all. In the end we just had to heavily doctor the results because the proposed album was looking fairly unrecognisable as a Hitchers record.

I make no apology that I wanted us to make a balls to the wall rock'n'roll record. But the record the vote had thrown up was more She's Leaving Home (Beatles) than Leave Home (Ramones). Probably a fine record in it's own right if we were sailing under a different flag but just not the album I wanted to release. It was slow to mid-paced, ballad heavy (not even heavy ballad!!!)  and I dreaded the prospect of trying to deliver it live.
But worse than what was in was what was out -There was no U Can Du, no Killed It, no You Can Only Love Someone, no Liver...so in the end we had to amend the vote a good bit to arrive at the thirteen that eventually made it on. There'd still be no Liver sadly but there you go." - Niall Quinn 2006.
