I was invited by Phil Manzanera to record some original stuff at Gallery in 1981 with lyricist Jacky Bellis, John Joce, ex-Zombies drummer Hugh Grundy, Tom Evans (Badfinger) and Steve Russell of the ELO fraternity. Jacky and I were signed to Island and part of the 'deal' was to road test the new desk for Phil. Ian was indeed living at the studio, a really nice guy. We brought engineer Nick Sykes in (owner, Rooster in W.London). The studio had a great sound, and on Nick's recommendation EMI had Sir Cliff re-record the vocals for 'Wired For Sound'. Ian had some valuable input. Really glad to know he's in the industry. So are we! Norm Bellis
