It was indeed, but it’s pretty hard to separate the two I think. I believe that H100 had started recording some of the material on North Of A Miracle for the planned second album, to be called Blue Hat For A Blue Day (after the eponymous track) but when NH quit the band he naturally took his songs with him and re-recorded them for NOAM.

Deedee Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Whoever it is playing, it looks like a SB-R80 he’s using on this occasion instead of a SB-900. EDIT - Although it does appear to have an extra inlay at the end of the fingerboard so maybe a limited edition? Nice to see NH dragging an old Hofner Club 50 into the eighties too!

She sent him a pair of underpants, small size if I remember right. She was well whizzed off not to get a reply. Strange woman... Is this an anecdote she told you about when she was a teen back in the 1980's or you mean this happened when you were already married back in those days? Either way... It's interesting to consider that in these days of snowflake sensibilities if I as a middle-aged man, with the best of intentions,were to send my underpants to a nubile female pop star I would probably be hunted down and charged with an act of terrorism. Just another example of political correctness gone mad I think it's definitely Pino on this track. He's credited with it, and it sounds like him or a brilliant impression of him. The other bass player on this album was Andy Brown, a top session player of the day who I'm very sorry to say died of cancer in 2000. I remember when this song came out as if it were yesterday. I'd just got my first fretless bass and the extent of my inability to play it was starting to drawn on me. This was one of many songs in the charts of that time featuring prominent fretless bass that was tormenting me and my crap out of tune playing. Not like nowadays, of course.
