His family owned a restaurant where his father worked as a chef. As a child, as the son of French immigrants, he was often the victim of mockery from his schoolmates, which later led him to call himself John to disguise his French origins.

Upon release, the album was a contrast to the more melodic songs of the Stranglers, containing what Pat Gilbert of '' Record Collector'' describes as "a collection of dark, atmospheric soundscapes, embroidered with Burnel's intense, monotone theorising about a united Europe." Release Despite a mixed critical reception, ''Euroman Cometh'' reached number 40 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1979. The track "Freddie Laker (Concorde and Eurobus)" was released as a single on 13 April 1979, backed with the non-album track "Ozymandias".
