GENE VINCENT'S 115TH DREAM was recorded on February 1, 1985, at Cherry Studios in Croydon with Mike Spenser (owner of Hit Records, and singer in the Cannibals and the Count Bishops), and Dave Goodman (former Sex Pistols soundman and cohort of Malcolm McLaren) at the mixing desk. The packaging of the record was a true ensemble effort: Spenser, Alec Palao (of the Sting-Rays), Todd and John arranged the front cover collage at Alec's flat. John's friend Therese Lynch took the photo of the collage. Alec's flat-mate drew the silly caricatures on the back cover, which, along with the record label, was put together by Alec and John at Ace Records' office (they had a typewriter). Todd designed the band logo used on the front and back (he also made the Huns badge, featuring the logo he painted on his leather jacket).
Spenser took the art work and added the colors, claiming the orange, pink and green tones would stand out in the "H" section of record store bins. He took the art and the master to a record pressing plant in Dagenham, Essex, where John picked up several white label copies in July. The finished product was then delivered to BACKS, a distributor in Norwich affiliated with Rough Trade Records' "Cartel" of independent distributors. One thousand copies were apparently made. John saw the album arrive at the record shop where he worked in early August, and Lynn Van Deventer saw copies shortly after in a shop near Piccadilly Circus. A certain number of copies were exported around the world: John received letters from Scotland, Australia, and Texas.
