Pete S Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi Ian, I'm new to these forums so apologies if this question has been asked before. You've had a varied musical career over the years and produced some great tunes but I was wondering if there was anything you look back upon and now regret getting involved in? The obvious one that springs to mind is this I guess... ....but are there any others you now look back and cringe at ? Cheers What the hell is that?

I have gone on public record many times about this embarrassment and there were many facts behind it of which you're not aware. It's most unfair for you to post this on a soul forum, and the only possible motive could be vindictive. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 She has a very familar face, very familiar indeed, but I don't recognise her name. Has she ever done any solo work or been involved with other bands, or is she a long term background vocalist? It's Pearly Gates from The Flirtations. I thought everyone would have known that.

Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What the hell is that? A nauseating charity record, like a third rate Live Aid, thrown together like a bucket of vomit in 1985 to try to save Doctor Who when it was cancelled, put together by the then producer of Doctor Who, John Nathan Turner and his boyfriend, Gary Downie, and cast by Paul Tams. I got roped in and told to do it (I had a sort of consultancy job on Doctor Who at the time). I have always said I hated it, always distanced myself from it, found it to be a total embarrassment from start to finish, and the fact that Hans Zimmer programmed all the music before he won endless Oscars makes it even more embarrassing. I really resent this being put on Soul Source, and if it's your second post, I challenge you to prove you're not a fake front for a troll. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Given the history of this thread, it was a most natural mistake to make. No worries its forgotten about. I hadn't read the thread in it's entirety when I originally posted so I can understand if Ian is a little paranoid. Still, the question is still an interesting one for any record producer. Certainly a question I have heard posed to others during TV and Radio interviews. Simon Cowell for example has plenty of skeletons in his closet (Telletubbies for one!) but he just laughs them off these days. That particular Doctor Who track I believe is still played at many Doctor Who conventions and so there are many folk out there who still enjoy it even if it didn't appeal to the masses. Oh...and of course this is not my real name. It's one I've been using in internet land for some years now. Many people use pseudonyms on forums these days its not uncommon.
