Keep Your Distance, the debut from London's Curiosity Killed the Cat, came out on Mercury in April 1987 and went straight in at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. Stewart Levine produced, and the band's pop comes dressed in slinky, well-pressed funk: Nick Thorpe's supple bass, Migi Drummond's crisp drums, Julian Godfrey Brookhouse's guitar flicking away in the gaps and Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot crooning over the top.
Three singles went top 20 at home, "Down to Earth", "Misfit" and "Ordinary Day", and the album even reached No. 55 on the Billboard 200, the only time the band charted there. Getahead followed in 1989.
