Easiset album credit of all time

[Chrismanbass]

So i've just recorded finger clicks on a friend of mines album and it turns out that i get a credit as a musician as ancillary percussion

Im not playing bass as well but the funny thing is that i get paid the same amount of PPL royalties if it gets released as the proper musicians

easiest money i've ever earned

I recall reading about a well known music producer (can't remember his name but was in the SAW/Cowell league) who would insist on doing something similar to get on the credits list so that he could get a share of the royalties.

My wife can't click so this would be a skill.

God I'd never thought about that. I'm on a Global Communication album from 20 years ago, doing a funny voice, which I did by phoning up Tom's answerphone and leaving a message. I wonder how much I'm due.

There was a chap on radio 2's pop master quiz this week who played triangle on "proper crimbo" - apparently he was told he wasn't very good at it though.

I'm credited on a friend's album just for being a 'nice bloke' - I was paid in beer for being their roadie for a while.

Theoretically not a great gig but I also got to roadie for U2 and Eurthmics at one point as part of the deal (neither of them gave me a credit though, lol).
