People involved

Tony Ashton (vcl); Sam Brown (bvc); Vicki Brown (vcl/bvc); Boz Burrell (bss); Elmer Gantry (vcl); Jon Lord (kbr); Simon Kirke (drm); Bernie Marsden (gtr/vcl); Neil Murray (bss); Ian Paice (drm); Simon Phillips (drm); Cozy Powell (drm); Mick Ralphs (gtr).

Lord booked Britannia Row Studios in September 1981 to start recordings for a new solo thing, which came to a temporary halt when Whitesnake started sessions in October. The solo record was later finished during February/March 1982. A suggestion: listen to Vicki Brown on "Say It's Allright" (...and then she started singing! Wow!).
