The One were a band formed to back Peter Perrett on his first new material since The Only Ones split in 1981.

Perrett initially started work with Miyuki, who was a keyboard player and was his managers wife. A full band was then assembled via adverts in Melody Maker. Richard Vernon was recruited on bass, Steve Hands on Drums and Jay Price on guitar.

The first release by Peter Perrett & The One was an EP of demos entitled Cultured Palate. Another EP was released to precede the album Woke Up Sticky. The band toured extensively, but split by 1999 due to Perrett's unreliable behavior.
