One sunny Saturday morning Be-Bop-De-Luxe called in and before long were recording. Bill had the basic tune, but the end phrases got more silly as various people contributed to each passing take. Nick Dew says : "IF STARS SHOULD FALL took me a while to recall. In fact I scribbled on the back of the envelope / aide memoir, "NEVER heard this B4" It began to come back as John Peel and Gracie Fields were mentioned and by the time the track was finishing, I was back at Holy Ground that Saturday morning!" The song didn't have a title so Mike took the first line of Bill's words.
