COLLECTION LOOSE ENDS

The group was originally called Loose End, and signed with Virgin Records in 1981. Their debut material was written for them by Chris Amoo and Eddie Amoo, who had had UK Singles Chart success of their own in the 1970s, with their group The Real Thing. The trio changed its name to Loose Ends in 1983 and continued to record for Virgin. They were distributed in the United States by MCA Records.

The group was founded by Steve Nichol after he left the London Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he received classical training. Most of the band's material was written and supplied by Nichol.[citation needed] Nichol auditioned McIntosh at a bar in Central London and found Eugene through a college fashion show. They achieved their first success with "Hangin' on a String (Contemplating)" in 1985, which reached #13 in the UK chart.They reached #16 with the single "Magic Touch" in the same year.The disc was produced in the U.S., as was their 1986 hit "Slow Down" (later used as the theme music for MuchMusic's Soul in The City program). Later that year, a track they had written and produced for Five Star, "Let Me Be The One," reached number two in the same listings. Subsequent falling sales saw the threesome notch up their final transatlantic hit in 1988 with "Watching You (Watching Me)."

The group's lineup changed in 1990 due to differences in its proposed musical direction, with Eugene and Nichol wanting to maintain the group's sound and McIntosh wanting to be more experimental.Eugene and Nichol decided to leave, and were replaced by Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. Look How Long turned out to be the final studio album released under the Loose Ends name, and featured their final hit single, "Don't Be A Fool" (1990). McIntosh himself went on to work behind the recording desk following the group's peak popularity, but the new trio soon disbanded. He has since produced several artists' work, most notably that of Caron Wheeler.

In 1998, McIntosh and Eugene reunited to appear on a single by Pete Rock called "Take Your Time." They also appeared in the music video for the track.

"Hangin' on a String (Contemplating)" is featured in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto IV.
