First off, you're right Todd. Apparently, it was Herbie Flowers that played bass on that track.todd wrote: actually, klaus voorman played rhythm guitar on the track. bass was played by herbie flowers, although klaus did play bass on alot of the record.

Secondly, the Internet is an amazing thing. Not only do we all have this board to share info, but with a little looking around you can go right to the source. Or almost. I did a quick search looking for Richard Perry, the producer of the album. I didn't find a contact email for him, but I did find one for Klaus Voorman, so I emailed him asking about the track - did he play the bass, did he remember anything about the signal chain, any info at all. I figured he wasn't going to really remember a session from thirty years ago, but it was worth a shot.
When I got home this evening I had this in my inbox:
Now, it's not a lot, but what the hell, it's KLAUS VOORMAN. Replying to my email!mark,
as I recall it is herby flowers who plays the bass on that track.
but I?m not sure.
all the best, klaus
I know, I know, calm the fuck down! But it's pretty cool.
