Tensions arose when recording the first single, "Give Me My Freedom". CBS felt the final result wasn't commercial enough and so it was re-done with a different producer, losing, Halpin later commented[citation needed], the band’s original sound in the process. In addition, CBS refused to allow Boz Boorer to be a full band member, not letting him appear on the single cover or in interviews or video clips.
Despite all these problems, "Give Me My Freedom" was released in April, 1984. The group had some press coverage and also did some television shows (most notably The Tube) and a John Peel session at Radio One. The Shillelagh Sisters also went on tour as the supporting act for British rock band Spear of Destiny. However, all this promotion did not lead to pop success and their single charted poorly at #100 in the UK charts in May, 1984.
