From the many interviews I've read on the subject if NWR's playing actually made it onto any the Frankie Goes To Hollywood records it was as a series of individual notes which had been sequenced using the Fairlight's Page R. IMO that doesn't even count as a performance let alone a collaboration. Expand Still counts in my book - and yes, I was entirely aware of the nature of Norman’s “contribution” and then lengths Trevor Horn went to to get a “bass part” he was happy with on Relax... still the sound of Norman plucking a string, even if triggered from a Fairlight. Perhaps I should have placed “on” in inverted commas... Edited February 22, 2018 by TrevorR Quote
