Fontana refused and the record instead became a single album, with the revised title of Paradise Circus, made up of twelve tracks written by Stephen and one by Nick. The band intended the record to be a double album titled Tree, with one album consisting of singer-songwriter Stephen Duffy's songs and one of instrumentals, primarily composed by his brother Nick. The band had hoped to record it at their country retreat in the Malvern Hills, but Phonogram insisted that it be recorded in a modern studio not far from the company's London headquarters instead. In early 1989, the Lilac Time's record company Fontana/ Phonogram asked the band to begin recording their second album. The album is regarded by critics as being bolder and fuller-sounding than the Lilac Time's first album, with a greater country & western influence. Initially intended to be a double album, consisting of one album of songs by band leader Stephen Duffy and one of instrumentals, it ended up being condensed into a single album at the record company's insistence. Paradise Circus is the second album by English band the Lilac Time and was released by Fontana Records in October 1989.
