This was the last session I played on at Utopia Studios for Colin Thurston in 1985 before he opened his own studio next door.
Mainly done on my PPG Waveterm System, DX7, Juno 106 and Linn 9000. Credited as "The Fabulous Berserk Speilmeisters".
Did this job with Kevin Jarvis, Colin also got me to do some Strat on it but didn't get the credit :-)
