Background

edit

In 2021, a 17-second snippet was uploaded to WatZatSong.[3] On 28 April 2024, it was found in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion as "Ulterior Motives" by Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth.[2]

Recording

edit

During the 1980s, Saint and Adrian recorded multiple songs. Two songs on the album, "Chemistry" and "Ulterior Motives", were previously featured in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.[4]

Remastering and re-recording

edit

After "Ulterior Motives" was discovered, the original audio recordings recorded by Saint and Adrian in 1986 were lost. The cause led to a rerecording of the song.[citation needed]

Throughout the album's production, Saint showcased the rerecording of "Ulterior Motives" on his Instagram page.[5] He additionally previewed multiple other tracks on the album.[citation needed]

Release and promotion

edit

On 23 June 2024, the Ulterior Motives (The Lost Album) album was released after a leak of "Ulterior Motives" was released on YouTube. Saint explains, "Well, we were going to wait but since somebody leaked the preview link on YouTube, here you go."[6][7][8][better source needed]
