Following the tour and the completion of Where Legend Began, core members drummer Andrew "Pinch" Pinching and Jon Murray left the band, leading to a brief attempt to continue with a temporary lineup featuring returning vocalist Wakey, Nick Wynch, Michael "Tat" Tatler, and drummer Richard "Grizz" Grizzwell. However, this configuration did not yield significant output, and English Dogs entered a period of inactivity from 1987 to 1992.
