The recording sessions for this album occurred in 1975. It was David Farmer who came up with the idea of a theme running throughout the album, that of using a harpischord on every track. The sessions were completed, the album duly given a catalogue number, and a prototype sleeve was even created by photographer Chalkie Davies. However, disaster struck when one of the tapes was erased, one containing the harpischord tracks, and that plus the escalating conflict between the band and their management meant that the album was never officially released, though white label test pressings do exist.

Alternate album titles presented to the press included Stick With Me Baby, and You'll Wear Diamonds, and Don't Push Your Mother While She's Shaving... both a result of Tom Farmer's irrepressable wit. Any or all of these can be found in various Blackfoot Sue discographies on the Internet, though the officially accepted release title was always intended to be Gun Running.

Happily, most of the tracks were finally released in 1996 on The Best of Blackfoot Sue compilation, below.

 * 1 Another bootleg! Despite what's written on the sleeve, and the band photos, this is NOT Outside Edge, but rather the line-up which would go on to become the reformed Blackfoot Sue in the nineties: Tom, David and Gary Farmer and Steve Turner. These tracks were supplied as a demo tape to a record company, and have subsequently ended up in the public arena. I have listed the true track titles and not those as mistakenly listed on the sleeve. The band photos are most likely to have been lifted from this very website.
 
(Thanks to Manfred for supplying the corrected song list and cover scans - and so quickly too!)
