Production

After hearing the song "Coles Corner" by Richard Hawley on the radion, Christie suggested that it was the type of production he should be striving for. Christie approached Hawley to request his production duties on a new version of the track. Hawley had previously sent hime the album "Coles Corner" on its release in 2005 and readily agreed to produce a whole album with his co-producer Colin Elliott at their Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield. The recording project developed into a concept that the album should only feature songs written by Sheffield’s own songwriters, and new songs by Tony himself. Amongst those involved were The Arctic Monkeys who supplied the albums opener "The Only Ones Who Know", Jarvis Cocker ("Born To Cry"), a stripped down piano and trumpet reworking of The Human League's, synthpop classic "Louise" and the reworking of "Coles Corner" by Richard Hawley. Also involved were lesser known city songwriters Martin Bragger who contributes two songs ("Danger Is A Woman In Love" and "Paradise Square") and Sara Jay and Mark Sheridan.

Tony Christie said of the project "We are a proud community and the artists that have hailed from Sheffield are some of the most exciting and successful UK artists in pop history. I wanted to celebrate our culture."
