The English punk band The Enemy was formed in early 1980 in their local youth club in Derby. They recorded their first single, “50,000 Dead” at Old Cottage Studios in Derby, releasing it on their own Tin Tin label. The single was quite successful and led to the band being signed to Fall Out Records, debuting on the label with “Fallen Hero” in May 1982, which reached number 44 in the UK Indie Chart. Debut album Gateway To Hell was issued in 1983 to much critical acclaim and respectable sales. The band toured around Britain in support of the album, but were dropped by Fall Out, and moved to the local Rot label for their next single, Last But Not Least, which was followed by this album of the same name with tracks split between a live recording from The Bierkeller in Leeds and studio tracks recorded at Cargo Studios in Rochdale. The album turned out to be The Enemy’s final release, with disappointing sales following the lack of support and funding from Rot together with musical differences prompted the band to call it a day in 1984.
