Right Back Where We Started From
Encyclopedia
"Right Back Where We Started From" is a song written by Pierre Tubbs
and J. Vincent Edwards which was first recorded in the summer of 1975 by Maxine Nightingale
for whom it was an international hit. In 1989, a remake by Sinitta reached #4 in the UK.
Edwards recalled that after hearing Maxine Nightingale sing on the session for Al Matthews
' "Fool" that track's producer Pierre Tubbs had come up with "Right Back Where We Started From" as a good title for a song for Nightingale herself to record and had invited Edwards to co-write the song.
Tubbs and Edwards wrote "Right Back Where We Started From" in about seven minutes while driving to the hospital where Tubbs' wife was set to give birth: the song heavily reflects Edwards' admiration for the Motown
songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland. A rough demo featuring Edwards' vocal was cut the next day and it was Edwards - who had performed with Nightingale in the West End
production of Hair
- who approached Nightingale with an offer for her to record the song.
Nightingale initially refused but was eventually persuaded by Edwards to record the song on the understanding it be released under a pseudonym; Edwards also had to convince her to accept a royalty
payment rather than a one-time session fee equivalent to $45 US. "Right Back Where We Started From" would ultimately be released in Nightingale's real name; she'd also be awarded a more substantial royalty than she'd agreed to.
According to Edwards consideration was given to "Right Back Where We Started From" being recorded as a duet featuring Nightingale and himself but this possibility ended when Private Stock Records
recruited Edwards to cut a remake of "The Worst That Could Happen
". Nightingale herself had opined to Rolling Stone
that Edwards' vocal on the demo was "pretty horrendous".

and keyboardist Dave Rowberry
: also Tubbs played guitar and Edwards provided percussion. Nightingale would advise Rolling Stone
that she had disliked Tubbs' utilization of both a crashing keyboard arrangement and heavy handclaps: she was also discomfited by being required to sing in a higher key than she was accustomed to.
Mike de Albuquerque recalled: "We were doing...one of those demo sessions where everybody goes and sits down with music in front of you and you try and get through as many tunes as possible....I remember [Pierre Tubbs]...saying, listen guys, I want to record in entirety four pieces in this three hour session...and we recorded two pieces with Maxine and two with somebody else....[Let] me stress, it was a demo session that this multi million selling thing came out of, it wasn't let's go and remake it... it was the original demo session....[That] multi million selling recording, I would think, cost [Tubbs] less than a £100 if you put the other tracks into the pudding".
