After a bidding war, the group signed to Polydor in 1993, and group recorded what was to become Change Giver with producer Jessica Corcoran. First single, MarkCasino Girl was released in March 1994 ahead of the album, and with each subsequent single release, the group pushed higher into the UK charts.
