As early as 1982, an early version of the track \"Polaroïd\/Roman\/Photo\" was released under the project RUTH. \"I wanted to write a piece to make the girls dance and make fun of the boys. I plugged a small handmade clock on my Farfisa organ as a sequencer. I had a small Roland synth-guitar, I put the organ in it and that's how it started.\" Thierry worked on other tracks for the future LP and asked some friends to write other texts. Later, Thierry settled down in the Anagramme recording studio to carry out acoustic sound recordings. But when the sessions were over, he was not too happy with the results of \"Polaroïd\/Roman\/Photo\": according to them, they lacked \"flamboyance\". They decided then to record a new female voice with a professional singer and the sound engineer\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Chevalot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eoffered to mix the track in the Synthesis studio \"so that it blows out.\" With his tape ready and the help of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Pasquier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(S.C.O.P.A.\/ Invisible Records) he started to contact record companies. \"I visited almost all the major record companies and was thrown out every time. Only at RCA's I found someone interested in my music.\" The album barely sold 50 copies in 1985, despite the eponymous title being a potential success.
