“I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass” was Lowe's highest charting hit
in the UK, where it peaked at #7. The
single was lifted from Lowe's debut solo album, “Jesus of Cool” from 1978.
Steve
Goulding, Andy Bodnar and Bob Andrews – Lowe's session musicians – helped to
compose this song. Lowe said: "That
was a song which was sort of made up in the studio. I
had the vague idea of the tune, and that's why in the writing credits, I cut
the bass player and the drummer in on the song, because they made it, really.
The drums and bass are really great on that song. Steve Goulding and Andy
Bodnar used to play with Graham Parker And The Rumour, whose records I
produced, and they played bass and drums on '(I Love the Sound of) Breaking
Glass.' Their contribution was so great, I gave them a third each. In fact, I
should have actually given Bob Andrews, who played piano on it, a taste of the
record. The piano is so great."
