Joy Division / Eternal (Live)

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

A new Joy Division box set, Eternal (Live), brings together 16 live performances across 14 CDs.

“Years in the making”, the audio in this set is sourced from audience recorded cassettes, soundboard tapes and broadcast recordings, all mastered at Abbey Road Studios. 

The content includes two previously unreleased shows Hope & Anchor and Acklam Hall and three previously unheard recordings, The Factory, Lyceum, Moonlight Club (2 April). It also features the band’s final live performance, at High Hall Birmingham in 1980, where they played Ceremony for the first and last time on stage. This was two weeks before Ian Curtis died.

The box also includes two DVDs giving fans 16 discs. They feature two hours and 30 mins of live shows including the previously unseen Plan K, Brussels concert and two concerts and soundcheck from the Apollo Theatre, Manchester that have only been partially released on VHS (in 1982) and a brand new edit of Joy Division – A Malcolm Whitehead Film.

Eternal (Live) comes as a 12-inch large format lift-off lid box set. There’s no luxury book mind you, just a “16-page booklet” with notes by Simon Armitage and photos by Anton Corbijn, Kevin Cummins and others.

It’s probably a case of buyer beware with this box set, since according to the label “audio quality across these sources varies widely. Most of the audience recordings sound exactly like what they are – recorded by a fan in the crowd – and multiple concerts have been widely bootlegged”. But they go on to say that they “have every confidence that Joy Division fans will revel in these official bootlegs, and be overjoyed by the higher quality recordings, especially with those that are previously unheard”.

Eternal (Live) will be released on 25 September 2026, via Warner Records.

Ten Years After / Cricklewood Green reissue

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Ten Years After’s fourth studio album, Cricklewood Green, will be reissued in August.

The 1970 album followed on the back of the blues-rock group’s performance at Woodstock and features their only UK hit single, ‘Love Like a Man’ (bizarrely the A-side played an edited version of the album cut at 45RPM and the B-side was a near eight minute live version which played at 33RPM).

The album has been newly mastered for the reissue and the 2CD edition includes a selection of rarities appended to CD 1 including a newly discovered ‘Cricklewood Jam’ instrumental demo. CD 2 includes a newly mixed version of the band’s second set at the Fillmore East on 27 February 1970, which includes an 11-minute version of ‘Going Home’.

The 2LP vinyl version doesn’t include the bonus tracks on the first disc of the 2CD set and omits Sweet Little Sixteen from the live set.

The reissue features newly written sleeve notes, band interviews and unseen photos. Cricklewood Green will be reissued on 28 August 2026, via Chrysalis.

Duran Duran announce ‘Free to Love’ remix album

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Fans may have noticed that Duran Duran are putting a lot of energy into promoting their latest single, the non-album collaboration with Nile Rodgers, called ‘Free to Love’.

We’ve had the Top of the Pops pastiche promo video, appearances on UK TV’s The One Show and, in the USA, Jimmy Kimmel Live. Despite a mixed reaction from their fanbase (“dreadful”, “instantly forgettable” and “dull” were some of the less enthusiastic notices from SDE readers, although others called it “fun and frothy” and “highly enjoyable”) the band will be doing something they haven’t done in the UK since 2007 and that is releasing a single on CD.

Free To Love: Hot Star Remixes is a collection of eight remixes of this one song showcasing “an eclectic lineup of artists and producers from across the worlds of disco, house, club culture and electronic music”. It’s released digitally this Friday and will be issued on what we used to call a ‘maxi’ CD, vinyl and cassette “later this summer”. In fact, these three formats will offer two bonus remixes (in case eight isn’t enough) and there will also be a standalone seven-inch with an instrumental version on side B.

Nick Rhodes said: “Sometimes a song simply demands remixes and you have no choice but to obey – this was certainly the case with ‘Free To Love’. We wanted to collaborate with the best possible contemporary remixers, which is something we have not done for a very long time. It was a leap of faith, and we had absolutely no idea how the interpretations of our song might turn out, but we could not be more thrilled with the results“.

There is no new B-side to this single and some may be disappointed at the band not taking up the opportunity to include some songs on this remix single/album which aren’t ‘Free To Love’. The many remixes of ‘Evil Woman’ remain digital exclusives, the Erol Alkan reworkings of ‘Give It All Up’ and ‘All Of You’ were only issued on vinyl and last year’s ‘Shadows On Your Side’ re-recording hasn’t been issued on any physical product.

Free To Love: Hot Star Remixes will be available digitally on Friday and as noted above will be released on physical formats “later this summer”. Duran Duran play London’s BST Hyde Park on 5 July.What are your thoughts on the idea of this remix album? Leave a comment.

‘White Label’ auction offers fans exclusive signed test pressings

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Rare vinyl test pressings will go under the hammer TOMORROW at The White Label Auction in aid of The BRIT Trust.

Last year’s event achieved a total hammer price of £44,200, including £8,800 for an original 1975 seven-inch test pressing of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

This year’s signed highlights include items from The Cure’s Robert Smith, Roxy Music, Erasure, Starsailor, and more. The Roxy Music item is a double-sided acetate of 1973 single ‘Do the Strand’ cut at IBC Studios in London’s Portland Place, donated by Phil Manzanera and signed by Phil, Bryan Ferry, and Andy Mackay.

But there’s plenty of other test pressings from artists such as De La Soul, Duran Duran, Freddie Mercury, Garbage, Lily Allen, Paul Weller, Pete Townshend, The Rolling Stones, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, Thin Lizzy and more.

THE BRIT Trust supports hundreds of causes promoting education and wellbeing across the UK, including The BRIT School, Nordoff and Robbins, ELAM, Music Support, and Key4Life.

The auction will take place tomorrow, at 11am 23 June 2026 and is once again being hosted by music memorabilia and vinyl record specialists Omega Auctions. You can browse all the lots here.

Sting / The Night Watch: Live at the Rijksmuseum

A surprisingly good concert, The Night Watch Live at the Rijksmuseum captures Sting in ‘intimate’ mode with guitarist Dominic Miller. You don’t need to know that he’s playing “a 17th-century guitar crafted for Louis XIV” to enjoy it (it’s probably better, that you don’t – apologies!).

Keane / Under The Iron Sea reissue

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Keane’s second album, Under The Iron Sea, is being reissued for its 20th anniversary.

The 2006 record reached No 1 on the UK charts and features the singles ‘Is It Any Wonder?’, ‘Crystal Ball’, ‘Nothing In My Way’ and ‘A Bad Dream’.

3CD digipak (click image to enlarge)

The album has been newly remastered and the reissue is available as a 3CD deluxe set with two discs of rarities, including B-sides, demos and a generous selection of live performances.

Curiously, there appears to be no standard vinyl version (there was a reissue in 2018), but a zoetrope picture disc version is being made available. Despite being a picture disc this is pressed at half-speed and uses the new remaster.

Under The Iron Sea will be released on 24 July 2026 via UMR.

Fleetwood Mac / Greatest Hits deluxe

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Warner’s 1988 Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits compilation, which was released at the time to capitalise on the success of Tango in the Night, is being reissued as a deluxe edition, on CD and vinyl, next month.

Originally, this was a 13-track compilation on vinyl, but the CD format delivered 17 tracks in a slightly re-jigged running order.

This new ‘deluxe’ edition offers 23 tracks in total, although spreads these out across two discs. So CD 1 offers the original 13-track vinyl running order from 1988 and moves four tracks to CD 2 with six further bonus tracks. £21.99 seems optimistic for a 38-year-old compilation that offers only a handful of bonus tracks, especially when you can buy the 50-track Don’t Stop collection for significantly less.

Greatest Hits deluxe makes a bit more sense on vinyl, with the second LP offering 10 tracks not on the original vinyl edition. Yes, that means ‘Big Love’ wasn’t on the original vinyl version, which is remarkable.

Greatest Hits deluxe is released on 31 July 2026 via Rhino for US and Canada only. Rest of the World gets it on 28 August.

Soft Cell / Danceteria

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Soft Cell release their last album, Danceteria, in September.

Marc Almond describes the record as “a love letter to New York in the early 80s” which was where he and the late Dave Ball recorded their first three albums. It takes its name from the legendary Manhattan nightclub where the duo would hang out while during the making of their 1981 debut, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. 

Marc Almond: “New York was like nowhere else on earth. There were 24-hour nightclubs, music, art and underground theatre. It offered a cornucopia of energy and edge, and the lyrics on Danceteria reflect that time of my life” 

The album was co-produced and co-written by Ball before his untimely death last October and Almond acknowledges that there will be no more Soft Cell albums without his friend, the “brilliant musical genius”.

“There can be no more recordings of Soft Cell without Dave, it would not be possible”, Marc says. “The sad reality is that Dave Ball was half of Soft Cell, and live work aside, I can’t write Soft Cell songs without him.”

Ball heard the finished record before he died and Almond says, “he knew it was a great piece of work”. You can hear the title track, above.

The CD edition comes in book format and includes two extra tracks, while the 12-track vinyl version as well as having fewer songs than its vinyl counterpart, appears to include edited versions of some of the tracks (presumably to make it all fit).

Danceteria will be released on CD and vinyl on 25 September 2026 via Republic of Music.

Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings / Ultimate Collection

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings will release Ultimate Collection, a career-spanning 10CD set in October.  

After leaving The Rolling Stones in 1993, Wyman spent a couple of years away from music to focus on his Sticky Fingers restaurants while dabbling in photography and archeology. In 1995, he started jamming at home with blues guitarist Terry Taylor, eventually calling on old pals including Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Peter Frampton, Andy Fairweather Low and Gary Brooker. Spontaneous recording sessions led to the first Rhythm Kings album, 1997’s Struttin’ Our Stuff, and over the next couple of decades the loose collective played over 200 shows and released six studio albums. Unsurprisingly, Wyman’s little black book came in handy over the years, with the bassist calling guest appearances from George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Chris Rea and many more.

All of those albums – Struttin’ Our Stuff, Anyway The Wind Blows, Groovin’, the two-disc Double Bill, Just For A Thrill and outtakes set Studio Time are included on Ultimate Collection, along with a smattering of bonus tracks. Also included are two live performances (Live, recorded in Berlin in 2004, and Live Communication, a set from Dorking in 2008). The box also includes the single-disc Best Of The Bootleg Kings, a compilation of highlights from the band’s ‘bootleg series’ of live recordings. 

The 10 CDs are housed in deluxe seven-single-style packaging. It comes with a 24-page booklet, with a new interview with Bill and Beverley Skeete and a limited edition version adds an art print, signed by Bill Wyman.

Though Ultimate Collection will be a handy one-stop for anybody craving endless chummy blues sessions, those already have Edsel’s four-volume 2016-2017 series The Kings Of Rhythm series will already have this covered.   

Ultimate Collection will be released on 9 October 2026 via Esel.

Donna Summer / The Casablanca Studio Albums

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Donna Summer’s disco years will be celebrated with The Casablanca Studio Albums, a 7CD or 10 LP set comprising her albums released between 1975 and 1979.

Summer’s work for Neil Bogart’s Casablanca Records changed the course of pop music forever, with tracks such as ‘Love To Love You Baby’, ‘I Feel Love’ and ‘Bad Girls’ establishing Summer as the undisputed Queen of Disco and influencing acts such as David Bowie, Blondie and The Human League while pointing the way forward for dance genres such as house, techno and Italo. The set features Love To Love You Baby (1975), A Love Trilogy (1976) Four Seasons Of Love (1976), I Remember Yesterday (1977), Once Upon A Time… (1977), Live And More (1978), and Bad Girls (1979).

The Casablanca Albums is essentially a slimmed-down take on 2020’s Encore, which featured Summer’s 20 albums from 1974’s Lady Of The Night to her final album, 2008’s Crayons, plus four discs of 7” and 12” single versions, remixes and singles and extended mixes. It also follows hot on the heels of another Summer mega-box – last year’s 40CD Summer Time: The Singles Collection 1974-2010. 

The Casablanca Albums is available as either a 7CD or 10LP set, with the CD version coming in seven-inch packaging, with a 24-page booklet with a 3,500 word essay. The LP version is available either on black vinyl or as a limited-edition coloured LP set, with each album pressed on a different coloured vinyl. Both vinyl editions include the same 3,500 word essay on a 12-inch insert.

The Casablanca Studio Albums will be released on 2 October 2026 via Demon.

Suede / Antidepressants Expanded

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Suede will next month issue an expanded edition of their 2025 album, Antidepressants.

This 3CD set features the album on CD 1 and five bonus tracks on CD 2. These comprise the new single ‘Emotionally Unavailable’, the original Japan-only bonus track ‘Medication’ and repetition of the three extra tracks that came with the original CD deluxe edition.

Toppermost of the Poppermost: Paul McCartney’s 24 Number One albums, explored

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

Paul McCartney’s new studio album, The Boys Of Dungeon Lane entered the UK chart at No 1 on Friday and as many commentators have pointed out, (and confirmed by the official charts company), it’s his 24th chart-topping album, in total in the UK, if you include all his various bands and his solo years.

But which albums made it to number one and why? SDE explores Macca’s chart-toppers over the years…


THE BEATLES

This one’s easy. All 11 of The Beatles official UK studio albums (Magical Mystery Tour was an EP in the UK, and Yellow Submarine doesn’t count either) reached the top of the UK charts. That’s quite some achievement. Has any other act – with a significant number of albums – ever done this?. 

Paul and Linda McCartney / Ram (1971)

You would have expected Paul’s first solo album McCartney to get to No 1 in the UK, especially since it was released before The Beatles’ Let It Be, but unfortunately for Paul, Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water was a complete monster of a seller. It had already enjoyed 10 consecutive weeks at No 1 when McCartney was released so Paul may have been optimistic about his chances, but no, he could not outsell Simon & Garfunkel’s long-playing swansong and had to settle for No 2. These positions remained the same for three consecutive weeks until Paul got a revenge of sorts (although I’m not sure he cared) when The Beatles’ Let It Be finally dislodged Bridge Over Troubled Water from the top spot. But only to No 2, and McCartney also slipped down a place to No 3. The top three stayed the same for two further weeks until Simon and Garfunkel went back to the top again. At this point The Beatles were No 2 and The Who’s Live at Leeds had pushed McCartney down to No 4. McCartney was a massive seller, mind you, and stayed in the top 10 for a further 11 weeks, selling many more copies than some future Macca albums that did get to No 1!

As with McCartney, there was no single released (in the UK) ahead of Ram, Paul’s second post-Beatles album, and one that was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney. The album entered the UK charts at No 1 in early June 1971, replacing The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers. Guess what was at No 3? Only Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water! Ram stayed at the top for 2 weeks and after that Bridge Over Troubled Water went back to the top for another five consecutive weeks! ‘The Back Seat Of My Car’ was eventually issued as a UK single in the middle of August but Ram was still in the top 10 at that point and it’s hard to say whether the single helped much, especially since it was a bit of a flop by McCartney standards, only peaking at No 39. But Ram sold strongly and didn’t drop out of the UK top 40 until late October.

Paul McCartney and Wings / Band on the Run (1973)

The first proper Wings album, Wild Life (1971) didn’t even get into the top 10 (peaked at No 11) while Red Rose Speedway (1973) did a little better, reaching No 5, thanks to the single top 10 single ‘My Love’. Band on the Run, which was released in late 1973, was a very slow burner, showing that at the time the general public were no longer buying Paul’s albums as a matter of course but wanted to perhaps ‘wait and see’ what was doing. Ram had gone straight into the UK charts at No 1 but less than 18 months later, Band on the Run entered at No 45! This was in early December 1973. The album eventually topped the charts in late July 1974, some 33 weeks later, when it enjoyed a seven-week stay at the top. It remained in the top 10 for most of the rest of the year and Paul was back to McCartney / Ram type success (even though those albums are never characterised a massive sellers).

Wings / Venus and Mars (1975)

After the massive success of Band on the Run, it would have been a shock if 1975’s Venus and Mars hadn’t got to No 1. Band on the Run was still in the top 30 when Venus and Mars entered the UK chart at No 3 in June 1975 and a week later it was No 1. It slipped down to No 2 for a few weeks (Carpenters’ Horizon went to No 1) but regained the top spot for another solitary week in mid-July.

Perhaps surprisingly, after all this success, that was it, as far as Wings’ studio albums topping the UK charts was concerned. Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976) peaked at No 2, kept off the top by the soundtrack to TV’s Rock Follies. In April 1978, the London Town album peaked at No 4 with Nat King Cole’s 20 Golden Greats, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Feverand Genesis’ …And Then There Were Three… above it. 1979’s Back to the Egg entered at a lowly No 27 in June 1979 and peaked the following week at No 6. (ELO, ABBA, James Last, Blondie and Dire Straits were the artists above Wings).

Even 1977’s best of, Wings Greatest, couldn’t make it to No 1 (it peaked at No 5) despite including what is still the best-selling non-charity single in the UK, ‘Mull of Kintyre’. Paul hasn’t had much luck with compilations over the years; none of them have topped the charts, with 1987’s All The Best coming the closest (peaking at No 2). 2001’s Wingspan got to No 5 and 2016’s Pure McCartney, No 3. 

Before we close the door on the 1970s there is one twist. EMI released The Beatles’ Live at the Hollywood Bowl in June 1977 and it spent a week at No 1, replacing ABBA’s Arrival. 

At this point Paul had enjoyed 10 chart-toppers in the 1960s (all The Beatles albums except Let It Be) and five in the 1970s (Let It Be, Ram, Band on the Run, Venus and Mars and Live at the Hollywood Bowl).

SOLO YEARS

Paul was about to enjoy a mini renaissance in the early 80s. In fact, he would have more number ones as a solo artist in the UK in the 1980s than he enjoyed with Wings in the 1970s. 

Paul McCartney / McCartney II (1980)

The massive success of ‘Coming Up’ (No 2 in the UK) and sheer joy of McCartney II’s lead single (not to mention the brilliant video) helped propel the album straight to No 1 in late May 1980, displacing The Magic of Boney M (oh yes). Paul’s experimental solo album stayed at the top for one more week before Peter Gabriel 3 replaced it. 

Paul McCartney / Tug Of War / 30th Anniversary Edition

Paul McCartney / Tug of War (1982)

Another smash single, this time transatlantic No 1 ‘Ebony and Ivory’ ensured that the George Martin-produced Tug of War entered the UK charts at the top in May 1982 (sending Barry Manilow’s Barry Live in Britain to No 2). It only stayed at the top for another week, but it hung around for a while as Paul mixed with the likes of Duran Duran (Rio), Roxy Music (Avalon) and ABC (The Lexicon of Love).

Paul McCartney / Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984)

1983’s Pipes of Peace had not topped the UK chart, which was a shock. I say this because it contained the title track, which was a No 1 single in Britain as well as ‘Say Say Say’ the massively successful duet with Michael Jackson that peaked at No 2 (as with ‘Coming Up’ it went one better in the USA). Pipes peaked at its first appearance in the chart when it entered at No 4. At this point Lionel Richie was No 1 with Can’t Slow Down, Culture Club’s Colour By Numbers was No 2. and a K-Tel compilation called ‘Just The Two Of Us’ was No 3.

However, McCartney’s soundtrack to his ill-fated film Give My Regards To Broad Street saw him return to the top of the UK charts, albeit for one week in early November 1984. The soundtrack, which contained re-recorded Beatles and Wings hits, along with a trio of new songs, benefitted from all the publicity the film received which included a South Bank Show TV special. The movie was certainly not well received, but ‘all publicity is good publicity’, as the saying goes. A big factor was also a good old-fashioned hit single, in ‘No More Lonely Nights’, which peaked at No 2 in the UK singles chart prior to the album release. Arguably, the last ‘classic’ Paul McCartney single and his fifth single in the UK to reach No 1 or No 2 in the previous five years. 

Paul McCartney / Flowers in the Dirt (1989)

A BBC TV special didn’t help 1986’s Press to Play which received mixed reviews and was hampered by a lack of hits (lead single ‘Press’ was the best effort, and it stalled at No 25). The album entered at No 8 in mid-September but had dropped to No 20 a week later. Four weeks after that it had dropped out of the top 75 completely. 1988’s CHOBA B CCCP was never designed to challenge the top of the charts (it peaked at 63) but 1989’s Flowers in the Dirt was another proper effort helped considerably by the fanfare around a Paul McCartney World Tour that would see Macca embracing his Beatles back catalogue. Paul was no longer troubling the sharp end of the charts with his singles (the first two 45s – ‘My Brave Face’ and ‘This One’ – did the best, both peaking at a modest No 18) but the album itself reached No 1 in June 1989 a week after debuting at No 3. Jason Donovan’s Ten Good Reasons was the album displaced. 

Paul needed to enjoy his 1989 solo chart-topper because he wouldn’t have another one for over 20 years. His three ‘90s albums – Off The Ground (1993), Flaming Pie (1997) and Run Devil Run – peaked at 5, 2 and 12 respectively, but it was his work with The Beatles that gave Paul three more number ones in his decade, with Live at the BBC, Anthology 2 and in 2000 the ‘1’ compilation all topping the chart. 

After Driving Rain (2001) and Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005) reached 46 and 10 respectively, Paul publicly blamed EMI and moved to Hear Music to release 2007’s Memory Amost Full. This worked to a degree and the album reached No 5 in the UK with 2012’s Kisses on the Bottom and 2013’s New both peaking at No 3.

For 2018’s Egypt Station Paul moved to Capitol Records and another album reached No 3. What could Paul do to get back to the top?

Paul McCartney announces new solo album McCartney III

Paul McCartney / McCartney III (2020)

The answer was to embrace modern marketing techniques, producing multiple coloured vinyl variants (and CDs with different bonus tracks) for different retail channels and hope that collectors would pick up more than one copy of the album. This worked a treat for McCartney III (recorded in ‘Rockdown’) and Paul was back at number one with one of his solo albums for the first time since Flowers in the Dirt.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane (2026)

Less than six months later the remix album McCartney III Imagined peaked at No 13 using the same methods and on Friday 5 June 2026 The Boys of Dungeon Lane repeated the achievement of McCartney III and Paul was back at the top of the UK charts once more. At 83, he’s the oldest person to get to No 1 on the pop charts with an album of new material, 63 years after The Beatles topped the Charts with their debut album Please Please Me. 

Martyn Ware on Tina Turner’s Private Dancer

Posted on by Paul Sinclair

SDE Exclusive blu-ray quick pre-order

Back in 2014, around the time of the 30th anniversary of Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, SDE spoke to Heaven 17’s Martyn Ware about his involvement with the album.

With the newly announced SDE exclusive blu-ray of the album announced just last week, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this conversation with Martyn, which you can read below (please remember that Martyn was speaking at a time when Tina was still with us, so he talks about her in the present tense).

SDE: You worked with Tina on the ‘Ball of Confusion’ single for BEF [British Electric Foundation], was that the first time you worked together?

Martyn Ware: Let me think about this… yes, it was, yes.

How did that collaboration come about?

Well it’s quite interesting really. I was doing the BEF album and I only had one track left and I had got one backing track left. I had lined up James Brown to do ‘Ball of Confusion’ and we had got it all booked and he had agreed to do it, the terms were all agreed, I was going to fly out to Atlanta to his studio – which is pretty freaky – to record in his studio and all that and meet him. The day before I was due to fly out, Virgin got a call from his lawyer saying that he wanted all the royalties on the entire album, not just his track.  Not all royalties, I mean the share we were offering but on the entire album or he wouldn’t do it.  And we said ‘no, this is insane, it’s not going to happen’.  So I was gutted, of course.

At that point in time I was living quite close to Virgin Records on Portobello Road and went down there. We were all friends, and I was just hanging out there and feeling quite sorry for myself and trying to think, ‘oh my God, I just need to do this one track just to finish it and who can we get to sing it?’ As it turned out Ken Berry, who was the financial controller of Virgin Records at the time, happened to walk past and he said, ‘I’m going out to LA on Sunday, what do you think about Tina Turner, she’s a mate of mine’.  I went, ‘yeah’.  Because I had just been to see her at The Venue – do you remember that place in Victoria? –  and I thought she was fantastic, and I thought a chance to work with a group like that is almost unmissable. And that’s how it happened.

Did she fly over to London to record that?

Yeah. Me and Glenn actually, were in LA doing some promo for Heaven 17, to do with Penthouse and Pavement, and our manager was based in LA at the time, and so by coincidence we said [to Tina], “well should we just pop round and see you?”  You’ve got to bear in mind we’d never had any dealings with LA reality before, it’s a bit of a freak-out.  Literally her house was, like, ranch-style – it was like what Roxy Music were talking about, you know, ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’ – it was four level ranch-style beautiful house in the Hollywood Hills. It was completely outside our sphere of experience.

Anyway, we got on well and she came over and we recorded it in… I believe it was in the EMI studios. Yeah. And the classic story is – which I have told many times – is her and Roger Davies [Turner’s manager] turned up to the studio and said, ‘where’s the band?’ because she is used to recording with band, and we pointed at the Fairlight and said, “well here it is”.  And they just stood with their mouths open, you know, it was incredible. Anyway, she gave a fantastic performance on that and consequently they approached me when they were making the Private Dancer album and said “would you write a song for Tina?” We were probably lacking in confidence a little bit and we didn’t really write for anyone else. We weren’t songwriters in that sense of the word, everything we did was for us.

But what was the sequence of events because when you did the ‘Ball of Confusion’ single, at that time wasn’t she basically an unsigned artist or had Capitol already had their plans for her at that point?

I really don’t know about that. Obviously, Roger Davies was involved with her so there were plans brewing. But as far as I know I don’t think she was signed. And she hadn’t really got any link with contemporary music. They call it a the ‘chicken in a basket’ circuit – I think it’s a bit derogatory – but she was making a good living and doing what a lot of solo artists had to do, but at a reasonably high level. She was doing Las Vegas and all that stuff, but the credibility in terms of her being a recording artist was lacking at that point and so she didn’t have a record deal.  But talent will always rise to the top as far as I’m concerned – she’s an amazing artist.

When you worked with her the second time, with what turned out to be ‘Let’s Stay Together’, was there this feeling of ‘we have to try and create a hit’ and ‘this is going to be a big deal’.

Not really. As I said, they said to us would you write a song for her and to be honest we were a bit confused as to… I mean we’re not really soul writers. Whereas we love soul music and we grew up with it, so I turned around to them and said ‘no, but I would really like to do as we did with ‘Ball of Confusion’. I thought it was very successful [so I said] “I would really like to do a cover version for that album”. They said, “can you come up with a shortlist of potential songs” which I wish I still had actually because there’s some really good songs on it, but the one that I really wanted to do anyway was ‘Let’s Stay Together’.

The way I explained it to her was that she needed to embed herself into the public perception as being one of the great soul singers of all time. She kind of turned her back on it quite a lot because she wanted to be a rock singer, essentially. She didn’t make any bones about it. You can’t alter the fact that you are born with this God-given talent.  I said, “I think it’s a good idea to do a reinterpretation of a soul record in a new way”.  I asked what her influences were when she was coming into the business and she was saying Sam Cooke, basically and Otis Redding and some gospel as well. I had always loved ‘Let’s Stay Together’ as a song, and I thought we could really make this work. She immediately latched onto it and said, “I love this song”.

The other thing is, that in my career, since the start of The Human League, I had always insisted on non-interference in the creative process and actually that suited her because she doesn’t write songs, she just comes and performs them, and in a strange sort of way, it was a bit like the creative relationship with Ike, where Ike would do all the music and recording and what have you, and then bring her in at the last minute to record.  So, it kind of fitted well from that perspective.

Did it all come together straight away in a session or were there a few attempts to do the track?  How did that work out?

It was myself and Greg Walsh; we were co-producers on this. Greg was helping us do the The Luxury Gap. He was a highly experienced arranger/producer who worked with Rod Temperton and Heatwave and various other Brit soul luminaries, and in fact with Heaven 17 we learnt, shall we say, the more dark arts of vocal arrangement, how to influence people using stacked vocals and all that crap that we use and with Heaven 17, that became part of our sound.

So, it seemed obvious to us to try and create a kind of hybrid – we wanted to use the programmed drums because we that was the way we worked at the time. We also wanted to use some new techniques, sound scaping techniques, like the famous intro to the song, that strained sort of chord at the start, which sets the scene. It is actually a piece of equipment called a Quantec Room Simulator which has a thing called a freeze function on it, which of course is quite well known now, but in those days it was the first machine that could do it. So, you would take a reverb of a complex chord, for instance, press freeze and it would keep all that in its memory, so you play things into it and it would just create this kind of cloud of sound, which is the opening and I think sets the scene.  I just think her vocal performance on that track is one of the greatest ever frankly.

My understanding is that track was done well in advance of everything else and it became a big hit and then Capitol panicked a little bit and then had to get the album together. Was that about right?

I wasn’t really privy to those discussions, because I wasn’t involved in the design of the album, I just did my bit.

But did you know that ‘Let’s Stay Together’ was likely to be a single or was this just a case of do a track with Tina and it will go on the album?

Obviously, if they didn’t like it, it wouldn’t have been a single.  But when they brought it out it was a surprise hit. It was the biggest selling twelve-inch single in American history when it came out.

Did it surprise you that it was a big hit or did you have a great feeling about?

Oh yeah, I thought it was a monster but I had no idea whether it would sell in America because I wasn’t really an expert in that market, but I knew that for the British market I thought it stood a really good chance of doing very well because Britain is very respectful of American soul artists from a certain period.

How was Tina’s confidence? Because at this point, she hadn’t ‘come back’ and she was on the verge of having all that big commercial success.  Was she nervous or in any way worried about the situation?

Tina was, as far as I understood, totally chilled about anything. She is a Buddhist anyway. She didn’t make a big deal out of it, and it’s not like some kind of tourist version of Buddhism, she believes it’s an integral part of her life, and she is quite calm because of it.  I think she really had a huge amount of faith in Roger Davies so it took a lot of pressure off her. You can never really say… with the benefit of hindsight you go ‘look at this fantastic master plan, isn’t this incredible. World domination!’. It’s not the way things work. It’s usually indications that there’s a public appetite for stuff.  So the first big indication was, obviously, ‘Let’s Stay Together’.  Then suddenly EMI were going, ‘oh my God this can be proper huge’ and then of course Roger got her to start performing again on a large scale and the whole thing just blew up and her career was relaunched in a supernova. Roger’s a very clever guy, and a very sweet guy as well, and quite a tough businessman but I suppose it’s a bit like the Terence Trent D’Arby thing that I did later on. Nobody could have really guessed that that was going to be so huge.

Was ‘Let’s Stay Together’ recorded at Abbey Road?

I think so, yeah.

You do another track on the album, the cover of David Bowie’s ‘1984’ – did that happen on a separate occasion or was that done at the same time?

In the same session, I think. Let me think about this for a second. It might be slightly later, I’m not sure. I think I’m right in saying that we were always commissioned to do two tracks and with my arty head on I thought it was really nice that the album was going to be coming out in 1984 and it was about 1984 and it was a futuristic song that was written way back… but she loved David Bowie so it all kind of made sense in my mind.

Were there any other tracks that you recorded, that didn’t get used, or was it just those two?

No. It was just those two for that album. We did some more tracks for the second album and I was thinking about this the other day, we did a cover version of ‘Take Me To The River’, which was on the B-side of a twelve-inch single [1986’s ‘Break Every Rule’] and we did ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ on BEF’s Music Of Quality And Distinction Volume 2 (1991)].  I’m very proud of that production. By this time she had such a huge success with Private Dancer it was moving in more traditional rock direction, like Graham Lyle, that kind of stuff. Not that I’m knocking it, [but] it was moving away from wanting to sound more contemporary and she was in the space where she wanted to be. She wanted to be this big rock artist and then she didn’t do any more soul stuff or not very much electronic stuff either for that matter.

What did you think of the finished album Private Dancer when it came out, because there are a lot of different producers and different songwriters?

There were some really good songs on it. It could have been a bit more daring but at that point in recording history there were three or four albums that everybody had – I call them coffee table albums. And that was one of those. If you can get one of those albums then many, many, many millions will buy it. I don’t know, it may be different now, but I think it sold about 20 million and I often think to achieve that level of success in terms of sales, it needs to appeal to a lot of people in a smaller way than a smaller number of people in a really significant way. And I think Roger understood that. So the songs are very memorable but not particularly daring a lot of the time.

Do you take away a best memory from that period of working with Tina? What would you say is your abiding memory of that era?

I just thought she was a complete… if there was such a thing as a gentlewoman, as opposed to a gentleman; she was that, a very decent, honest, open, incredibly talented person. I suppose the most magical thing was the first take of her singing ‘Lets Stay Together’, it was literally what you hear on the record is all one take. She had clearly – and I had never come across this, and to be honest I don’t think I’ve ever come across it since, and I’ve worked with a huge number of people – she had clearly from the kind of background that she had come from, she had done her homework to the nth degree about how she wanted to sing that track. Nothing that came out, I got the impression was unplanned. It was all rehearsed.

I often say, particularly to young singers, I tell them this story and say ‘don’t assume that you can just turn up in a recording studio and everything that comes out of your mouth is going to sound great. It’s like doing revision for an exam, really, to a certain extent, she had nailed her interpretation of that song before she came to the studio. So, therefore, all she had to do was relax and then sing it. I mean, right from the very first note.  You’re already there aren’t you?  Telling a story, it’s the narrative, she has already established narrative in her head and where she’s going to go, she doesn’t want to peak too early because it leaves her nowhere to go, she will want to tell it as a story, you know, a three and a half minute movie in people’s heads.

You memorably performed with her on [UK TV music show] The Tube, was that after you had done the recording in the studio?

Yeah, that was nerve-wracking. I don’t think I’ve ever been so frightened in my life.

 How did that come about, that Tube performance?

Well The Tube was just starting. It might have even been the first one and Virgin were very excited about it because we used to – can you believe – we used to moan about there being very little opportunity to promote things on television. Anyway, it was the first episode and the EMI said would you like to perform ‘Let’s Stay Together’ with Tina on the show and we were like, ‘it’s a bit scary isn’t it?’

Was the single out at this point. I can’t remember what the timeline was?

I don’t know to be honest; you had better look that up. Anyway, so, the funniest part about it was we were having a nice time and me and Glenn were there, just two boys from Sheffield with nice suits on, having a pint of lager, and what have you, and Tina comes into our dressing room, like three quarters of an hour before, and this is live, and it’s scary as well. So she comes into the dressing room and says, ‘In the middle eight, I thought it would be good if the girls came around and run their hands up and down your body’ and me and Glenn were going ‘it’s not going to happen darling’.  We were terrified as it is and the last thing we need is any embarrassing moments on live television.  That terrified us even more because we thought they might do it anyway.  You’ve got to bear in mind this is a show that she had been doing for 30 years and we literally hadn’t performed live anywhere!
