"The video for 'Things...' was banned by MTV for it's un-pc content (a foam animal cadaver - also featured in a film by the great Ingmar Bergman - can be seen briefly in the background). The video for 'Cherry Man' was also banned!! This time it was the subject of the song, portrayed in the video by a middle-aged man surrounded by young girls and boys, that was too strong for them."

Summer of 1993 - Snap records festival at Gröna Lund & Hultsfred festival
"Bands signed to MNW's indie label Snap all played at the amusement park in Stockholm - Gröna Lund. We headlined, and our gig ended in glorious chaos! The stage was invaded by fans, singing and dancing, stage-diving and covering the stage and us with flowers! Later in the summer we played the Hultsfred festival with similar result. Hundreds of happy sweaty people pulled over the fence. In pictures of the mosh pit, you see more feet than heads! ROCK!"
November 1993 - A producer short of a recording session
Producer Dagge Lunquist's paternity leave puts a halt to the group's plans to start recording a third album.

Beginning of 1994 - Second try
After a week and a bit, the recordings are abandoned. Engineer Adam Kviman is first to be put on the sick-list. Days later producer Micke Herrström follows suit - both because of hearing injuries!!! Stefan Glaumann is called in to mix Love in June, the one song from the Herrström sessions that was finished, plus the b-side 'I Got a Right' - a Stooges cover.

Spring 1994 - Love in June is released
"With no album to release, the record company suggested a summer single. It's funny that the only song we had to choose from was the appropriately titled 'Love in June'!"
