In 1973, with Brian Hodgson at their newly-formed Electrophon studio, Delia helped create the soundtrack for The Legend of Hell House. Decidedly Delian elements are the tam-tam backing in The Approach to the House.

According to Brian Hodgson:

She did a little bit on The Legend of Hell House but not very much. She was not in the right state; she was not really at her most creative at that point. She seemed almost on the edge of a breakdown, of really not knowing what she wanted to do and feeling the pressures were all too great.[1]

and

Delia at that time was going out with a really peculiar bloke. We called him the Black Dwarf because he was very swarthy and Delia was very tall and if he appeared in a room with Delia you could palpably feel every ounce of creativity drain. It was like a black hole [...] sucking out the creativity. [...] So she was really not much use, I'm afraid. She was not in the mood for work. She would stand around taking her snuff. That was an unhappy time for me [...] feeling that I had been abandoned by Delia.[2]
