Betty Boo went on to release a 2nd album ‘Grrr!…It’s Betty Boo’ collaborating closely with John Coxon of the King John partnership so involved in the making of the Boomania album. 3 UK singles were taken from this album though they failed to replicate the commercial success enjoyed from the ‘Boomania’ period.
