Next album ="Superchip: The Final Silicon Solution?" was the eighth and, at present, final album created by the
Edgar Broughton Band . This is album saw them on their own record label, and also saw them returning to their original moniker, "Edgar Broughton Band " as opposed to "The Broughtons" as they were called on their previous album, "Parlez-Vous English?". This album still sees the band with a slightly different sound, with prominent use of synthesisers, but still retaining their original progressive rock roots. The album was originally released as "Sheet Records Sheet 2" in 1982. The 2006 CD reissue features one bonus track, which was an electronic dance track created by Edgar Broughton and his son, Luke Broughton.Track listings

Notes
The song "Innocent Bystanders (Damian and Soola)" contains a very strong reference to the previous album. During the track we hear the lyrics
"He's a second coming Nazi with a fancy little tartsieHe met her at the party on the last L.P."
This is a reference the the first track on the previous album where a man meets a girl at a party.
