Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors is the second album by mod revival band Secret Affair, released in September 1980 by their label I-Spy. The album peaked at number 48 on the UK Albums Chart. Background and release The album saw a change in direction by the band, with Page saying "the first priority was to make it different from the first, to show the wide range of styles and influences there are within the band". Apart from two songs, the songs on this album were written by either Ian Page or David Cairns, unlike their previous album, Glory Boys. Cairns admitted that this was because "Ian was in the States remixing the first album for the American market and I was over here. We were told out of the blue that we had to get a second album together right now as owing to touring commitments we wouldn’t have any other time. So in the end we worked independently; he presented his songs and I came up with mine." The first single released from the album was "My World". It became the band's second highest charting single, peaking at number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single, "Sound of Confusion" was released a month before the album was released, and only peaked at number 45 on the chart.
