Notes: The Mechanics reorganised their personnel 14 years ago. This was nothing completely new at the time, but all positions were changed - apart from Mike, of course. And Paul Carrack was missing for the first time. This week we present one of the songs from the quasi-debut album of the "new" Mechanics. Interestingly, none of the then new lead singers Tim Howar and Andrew Roachford sing on this track, but one of the songwriters Arno Carstens. Sounds German, but it's not. Arno Carstens is a South African whose solo work is probably not known to many people. Incidentally, there is no mention of his involvement with Mike + The Mechanics on his website (http://www.arnocarstens.com) |
