“So many great musical memories - hearing Geoff Maddock’s brilliant string arrangement for Edible Flowers being played by some of London’s best musicians, including our very own Miles Golding on violin… leaving Jon Brion alone overnight to work on Luckiest Man Alive and coming back in the morning to hear his beautiful arrangement… singing blood-pumping harmonies with Neil on Anything Can Happen and, in a gentler vein, Disembodied Voices.
A particularly gratifying comment came from Tony Wadsworth, then head of Parlophone, backstage at a gig in London where he told me that what he loved about the album, and what made it unique for him, was that it contained love songs “not between a man and a woman.””
““So good they made it twice.“ A brilliant cast of characters involved from Tony Visconti, Adam Kasper, Mitchell Froom, Jon Brion, Bob Clearmountain, with good old school A&R support Chris Briggs on hand... sounded effortless in the end... that’s the art!””
