"Seven Minutes to Midnight" was the second and final single released by Pete Wylie's Wah! Heat incarnation. The band had made major line-up changes and bass guitar player Pete Younger was replaced by Colm Redmond, then Carl Washington who became Wylie's right hand. The recording included keyboard player King Bluff for the first time. It was during this incarnation that they recorded their only Peel Session on 19 May 1980. The release of the single also marked the departure of Colm Redmond (who joined Faction for a short while and then joined as a full-time member the post-punk band Pink Military) and the transformation of Wylie's first outfit into the better known four piece Wah!.[1]
