The Mullahs were one of the most outstanding bands of the 1980s Cambridge Music scene.  The had what can only be described as an unstable membership and sadly this led to them missing out on a richly deserved major record deal.  They were introduced to producer Paul “Doc” Stewart, who was well known for Indie and Psychobilly chart success and he sign them to a a production and publishing deal, took them into Triple X Studios and made” Sing To Be Free” c/w “Die For Love”.  The intention as to make a double A side single, licence this to a label in return for a three album deal.

The negotiations for this were well under way with Stewart talking to two Indie labels and one major, a number of DJs had heard the tracks and responded favourably.  Then the bombshell news that a key member of the band wanted to leave not just the Mullahs, but the music business led to the project collapsing.  However the tracks are really great, and to mark the 40th anniversary of Doc Stewart’s production career and 35 years of 1•11 MUSIC as a publishing and production company, they’re being released and we hope you enjoy them.
