Ollie plays drums on this oddity, along with Peter Zorn [bass] and Martin Jenner [guitar] who is reputed to have accuired Ollie's white SG Custom after it was confiscated and sold by Boxer manager Nigel Thomas.

Apparently, Ginger Baker is also featured on this. No details. Anyone got any ideas?

Singles

One More Reggae For The Road

Bill was the guitarist in one of Ollie's earlySouthport bands, The Music Students.

I am assuming only played on these, although there is no evidence [?]

"A school friend of mine (drummer / pianist in our band , Chris Ainsworth Davis did that tour with Ollie and Bill Lovelady. I remember going to one of the rehearsals; Chris had been with Morrissey Mullen for some time and Dick Morrissey, Jim Mullen (who didnt get the Brecker Bros gig because he didnt read - music , that is!); really nice guy Jim and a lovely player. When Chris was with them, the bassist was Clive Chaman (also from Trinidad, as was Chris). Clive played in Hummingbird with Bernie H and later with Jeff Beck. Lots of fine players followed them. Chris used to tell me how Ollie enjoyed The Who and Michael Jackson, specifically 'Squeeze Box' and 'You Got me Workin' Day and Night'. At the Bill rehearsals there was no sign whatsoever of Ollie's virtuosity."
