Mood Six, a neo-psychedelic band, was formed in London's West End in 1982. The group emerged from remnants of punk bands and mod revival groups, including Phil Ward, Tony Conway, Andy Godfrey, Guy Morley, Paul Shurey, and Simon Smith. Their debut tracks "Just Like a Dream" and "Plastic Flowers" appeared on the compilation A Splash of Colour. In 1982, they released their first official single "Hanging Around", written by Tony Conway, under EMI. The band later signed to Cherry Red Records, releasing albums such as The Difference Is... in 1985 and A Matter Of! in 1986. After a period of inactivity, Mood Six returned in 1993 with And This Is It, followed by compilations Songs from the Lost Boutique and Cutting Edge Retro.
