Looking back on the recording of Nobody's Heroes, Jake Burns said, "My overriding memory of those sessions is we were suddenly under pressure, which had never been the case before. Not only had we signed to a major, but we had to follow up an album that was already being hailed in the press as a "classic". Add to that, we went into the studio in November with only five songs!
"Amazingly, those five were almost exactly the first side of the album, recorded in 1979, the same year that "Inflammable Material" was released. We took Christmas off and came back in January with the final five. And I remember Doug Bennett, our producer, saying to me at the final playback. 'When we started, I never imagined we'd end up with something like this!' And he meant it in a good way!"
