Back in 1979, the Collins Sisters career was at a crossroads. Their first two albums on Harvest garnered mildly enthusiastic reviews, but sales were disappointing. Sales figures went into the red after thousands of disappointed prog fans returned their copies. Their third album on the trend-setting Topic label suffered from poor promotion (a postcard in the window of their local Post Office) and led to a long hiatus.
SC Dolly had substance issues, basically.
DC (laughs) Substance issues! My goodness!
SC And we got a "bad rep" for leaving hotel rooms a little untidy.
DC Shirl threw her zither into the pool! (does rock and roll "horns" gesture)
SC Happy days!
FT3 So you decided to up your game?
SC We heard Grandmaster Flash and his Wheels Of Steel on the wireless, and it was like a revelation!
DC It was the new folk music! Music of the common man!
SC We decided there and then to record our own "rap gangster" long-player!
FT3 Apparently it was a step in the wrong direction for the neckbeards at Topic?
DC They refused to release it. It was a bitter disappointment.
FT3 Could you still perform the material today?

It was on September morning my love he did make bold
Arrayed in costly pantaloons and rings of solid gold
He gaily threw me in the boot of his German limousine
O shut the fuck up bitch you my ho now I gonna treat you mean
With a hey nonny nonny ho and a rilly down dilly-o
Shoot this shit and swallow this pilly-o
Slap up my bitch-o gonna get rich-o
With a rilly-dilly-dillyo you my ho
This post blessed by the pontifical intercession of Pope Prius IX
