Hi, Gary. I looked through all my Cliff books and vinyl records and the only piece of information I could find is the fact that Alan Tarney played all the instruments on that song, including "percussion programming" and "synthesizer." Victor Rust's book on Cliff (The Recording Catalog 1958-2010) describes the song in detail, including mentioning how nice the drums are, but it does not actually articulate which drum machine, only that Alan programmed it. I'm sure this does not answer your question, but it is all I could find.

Kind regards,
Donna

Around that time Brian Bennett did much of his drum machine stuff using the Linn Drum - it was possibly one of those as they were the flavour of the time amongst the elite. :idea:
