This photo was taken during the summer of 1991 at Warren’s house in Battersea.
I cannot tell you what all the gear in the picture is!
Maybe Tommy or Warren remember? Am I shirtless?

What a great song Baker Street was. It’s never lost it’s magic in all these years.

It was the 1980’s something or other, and we had a little reunion on Bayview avenue in Toronto of our old 70’s band. Beyond for short.
Bob Little, Dave Worth, John Jones, Jim Honeywell, Ken Basman, and Jeff Sacks holding the circa 70’s photo we were trying to recreate!

A part of me will always be in Buttonville, even if they don’t remember we were there from 1979 to 1985. The latest news is about the IMMINENT DEMISE of the Buttonville Airport.
No more bacon & eggs on a Sunday morning, watching the planes come and go. Those were the days!
My house, the Village Forge, and ESP Studios, looked like this in the early 80’s:
This is what it looks like today. Now you can buy gaz-o-line instead of an old chair or a hit record:
The buildings went across the street and became a school:
The information about the building’s history is wrong on the school website. Mindtech? I’ll have to let them know.

It started out as the tape copy room. By 1986 it was a ‘state of the art’ Fairlight/MIDI studio on the fourth floor of the Burton building in Oxford Circus.
Dee Long at work, with Gerry Stellard, I think
