I LOVE 31st Feb St. A very under rated album in my view.

Yes, I think you're right about that. Also, I'm fairly certain that John sang backing vocals on the studio version of "Power To All Our Friends".


Yes Power to... and It's Only Me... have distinctive Farrar vocals for sure!

What about "Back In Vaudeville"? This was the B-side of the Australian, German and Dutch issues of the single "Baby You're Dynamite", released in March, 1984. It's not exactly known who played on this track, but the bass guitar sound must surely come from Alan Jones. Now, "Baby You're Dynamite" features Nigel Jenkins on guitar, Brian Bennett on drums, Alan Jones on bass guitar and Guy Fletcher on keyboards. As both these tracks were recorded at Abbey Road Studios and produced by Bruce, could it be that both tracks feature the same line-up of musicians?

Thank you Stuart. I expected Brian to feature on that album, as some of the drum sounds sound very much like him. Regarding "Power To All Our Friends", does John also play guitar on that track in addition to singing backing vocals?
