Recorded at Ramshackle Inc. Studios, Sunderland, December 1992. Engineered by Warsaw.

This one may take awhile to grow on you. When I first heard it, it sounded weird and badly produced compared to "Fill Your Boots" or especially "Mush". The drums were dead, the guitars were muffled, and the songs were all slow and long. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
But there's a happy ending, of course. The more I listened to "Minx", the more I liked it. It's really a great record after all, as long as you're not expecting the guitar fury of the earlier albums. It's not as fast or hard as "Mush", but that's because the focus here is mostly on slower, more melancholy songs and lyrics. At the end of most days, it's second only to Mush on my list.
More trivia: the engineer is probably Frankie Stubbs himself; "Warsaw" is one of his middle names. As it turns out, they recorded "Minx" in a studio he put together himself with record label money. He claims that this is his favorite sounding album.
