May 1992
１９８７年に出たベスト「Ｃｈａｎｇｉｎｇ Ｆａｃｅｓ」のヒットがきっかけとなり
実現した再結成１０ｃｃの第１弾アルバム。
再結成そのものはＥｒｉｃとＧｒａｈａｍの２人だけによるものでしたが、
「The Stars Didn't Show」ではＫｅｖｉｎがリード・ヴォーカルをとり、
Ｌｏｌもバック・ヴォーカルで６曲に参加と、アルバム上はオリジナル・メンバー完全復活。
この点をもっとアピールすれば、もう少し売れたのでは？
さらに、米国でのリリースがなかった（現在も出ていない）ことも、敗因でした。
とは言え、９３年には２度目の来日公演（６個所）を皮切りに全英ツアーも行われました。
ジャケットはフランスの前科者カードの写真で、子供時代と
大人になってからと、耳の形が変わらないことを意味し、
「良いものは変わらない」という含みを持たせています。
また、Ｊｅｆｆ Ｐｏｒｃａｒｏの最晩年の参加作でもあります
（これについては、jeffs-worldさんの詳細な分析があります）。
９３年の公演時、「The Stars Didn't Show」をＰｏｒｃａｒｏに捧げるとＭＣして
いましたが、もともとはＧｒａｈａｍが亡くなった父に寄せて書いた曲と思われます。
