Background
For the recording of Strange Kind of Love, Love and Money relocated from Scotland to New York City for half a year to work with American producer Gary Katz.[4] With the departure of the band`s drummer Stuart Kerr, session drummer Jeff Porcaro played on the album, reducing Love and Money to a trio of vocalist and guitarist James Grant, keyboardist Paul McGeechan and bassist Bobby Paterson.[5]

In 1993, Grant revealed his mixed feelings for the album, `It`s a good set of songs, but we didn`t go the whole way. It still clung on to a rock/funk sort of thing [as heard on the band`s 1986 debut album All You Need Is...]. The sessions dragged on and on, and the songs were already a year and a half to two years old by the time we got to work with Katz. He was a really lovely guy but he made me feel I couldn`t sing. Some of the tracks we did 30 times and at the end of the day we were dropping in on syllables. Parts of it were really enjoyable, but in retrospect I`ve had this paranoia about my voice ever since.`[4]
