• Malcolm retired from the band approx August 1984 due to a knee injury/arthritis, and in the run up to this he missed some gigs, but played in others. His last ever gig was in Wales - it was possibly the gig at the Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl on 10th August.
   
• Some shows in late 1984 (exact shows unknown) had to be postponed when Dave had an accident in his garden at home and had to have treatment on his eyes at hospital. They were rescheduled for early 1985.
