Album "Songs to remember" był największym rynkowym sukcesem wytwórni Rough Trade, wykraczającym poza wysokie pozycje na listach niezależnych. Efektem był kontrakt z Virgin Records. Green stworzył nowy skład z udziałem nowojorskich przyjaciół (David Gamson; instrumenty klawiszowe, programowanie, Fred Maher; perkusja).
Nowi Scritti Politti wylansowali w latach 1984-88 kilka realizowanych przez Arifa Mardina brytyjskich przebojów: ("Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)", "Absolute", "The World Girl"). Po trzech latach milczenia przypomnieli się "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)" i albumem Provision, na którym na trąbce zagrał Miles Davis.
Późniejsze dokonania Gartside'a były mniej udane. Po klęsce solowego singla "First Boy In This Town (Love Sick)", powrócił w 1991 wersjami "She's A Woman" Beatlesów i " Take Me In Your Arm And Love Me", Gladys Knight And The Pips, na których towarzyszyły mu gwiazdki reggae Shabba Ranks i Sweetie Irie.
