Sapphire

15 Nov 1984
The Bottom Line:

John's Bahama trip contains fine songs in a smooth production. The eighties in full swing, so prepare for a lot of keyboards.

'An extra special thank you to Robert Palmer without whose help this album may never have been made.'

Recorded at Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas and Ca Va Sound Workshops, Glasgow.
Mixed by Harvey Goldberg and Stephen Street at Fallout Shelter, London except Sapphire (by Andy Lyden at Genetic Studios).
