Liner Notes Who's Who - 'Flash' onwards

Since I did something similar with 'Made in Heaven' a few weeks ago, I decided to do it for the other albums as well, starting off with 'Innuendo.' Without further ado:

- Vicky Vocat: Nowadays a Phoenix Trust spokesperson, so she was probably involved with them as publicist or something like that back then.

- Andre Gauchat: Assistant engineer at Mountain.

- Karen Goodman: Studio manager at Metropolis, also thanked on 'Made in Heaven', 'Brixton Academy' and 'Back to the Light', all of which were partially recorded and/or mixed at Metropolis.

- Peter Chant: The band's accountant for donkey's years.

- Terry Giddings: Freddie's PA.

- Gerry Stickells: Tour manager.

- Melanie Martin: Brian's PA in America.

- Valerie Moss: ???

- Sally Temple: Also thanked on 'Blue Rock' so perhaps Roger's assitant or something like that.

- Ian Sylvester: Assistant engineer at Metropolis.

- Jerry Hibbert & Rudi Dolezal: Co-directed the video for the lead single.

- Hannes Rossacher: Also involved with videos.

- Ina Meibach: Either an A&R person or a lawyer, or both.

- Mark Christopher: Ambience coordinator (whatever that means) at Metropolis.

- Peter Paterno: Hollywood Records president at the time.

- Rupert Perry: President of EMI Records 1986 - 1995.

Ok

- Valerie Moss: ???

She was Jacky Gunn's older sister. She sadly died earlier this year.

Thanks. So, did she do any admin work for the fan club or something like that?

^^^ yes she worked with Jacky when the fanclub became independent from QP. I believe fanclub members who attended the convention over the years would remember her.

Oh, I remember Val. The one time I visited the Queen Fan Club in London back in 1998 she welcomed us and showed us around for a few minutes despite, it seemed, she actually was on her way out when we came in. She was very kind. I didn't know she had passed. Rest in piece.

Yes, now i die in peace now i know that!

And what exactly have you offered this place?

Do you think you appear intelligent to others by bullying someone for achieving something you didn't?

Don't feed the troll, Bob.

Moving on ... 'The Miracle':

- Gerry Stickells: Tour manager.

- Julie Nash: Something to do with QP at the time.

- Claude Nobs: Fellow musician based in Montreux, probably a friend of theirs at the time.

- Misa Watanabe: Freddie's tour guide in Japan.

- Gilbert Marouani: Publicist (I think).

- Peter Freestone, Joe Fannelli, Terry Giddings, Jacky Gunn: We all know who they are, don't we?

- Nicola Froude: ???

- Anita Dobson: Brian's then girlfriend (now wife).

- David Mallet: Video director.

- Jacqui Byford: Video producer.

- Melanie Martin: Brian's PA in America. It's worth mentioning that Brian used to spend long periods in the States back then.

- Vicky Soder: ???

- Andre Gauchat: Assistant engineer at Mountain.

- Peter Chant: Accountant

- Bryan Lask: ???

- Mike Silverstone: ???

- Coutts & Co: Private banking.

- Robert Lee: No idea who he is but he seems to be close with Brian (either socially or professionally) since he's been thanked on Another World, Anthems, Cosmos Rocks...

- Penny Robinson: Again, probably a Brian connexion as she's thanked on 'Back to the Light' and 'Made in Heaven.' It might be a shot in the dark, but there's another common denominator between those three albums (and none others): 'Too Much Love Will Kill You.'

- Marjie Winter: On 'Another World', Brian thanks her for 'Dusting and Polishing.' A PA maybe?

- Gwen, Sara, Elena: We'll probably never know.

'A Kind of Magic':

- Gerry Stickells: Tour manager.

- Russel Mulcahy: Film director.

- Peter Davies: ???

- Bill Panzer: One of the Highlander producers.

- Julie Nash: Something to do with QP at the time.

- Sally Green: No idea, but if she's the same as the writer Sally Green (whose debut novel was published a couple of years ago), then she was probably in her twenties at the time ... but she's supposed to be a 'new' writer so perhaps not a publicist at the time... I've no idea, really.

- Jacky Gunn: Fan Club chairperson.

- Melanie Martin: Brian's PA in America.

- Collie: ???

- Peter Freestone: Fred's PA.

- Joe Fannelli: Catering.

- Tony Williams: Wardrobe.

- Derek Power: Film music supervisor.

- Peter Chant: Band's accountant.

- Neal Levin: Probably something to do with Brian as he's thanked on BTTL & AW.

- Sidney Sachs: Mis-spelt, as it was actually Sidney Sax - the RPO leader who'd also played for some Beatles' songs as well as the Flash OST.

- Stefan: Wissnet, Mack's assistant engineer at Musicland. He can be seen with Mack and the band when they filmed the making of 'One Vision.'

- Clive Martin: Assistant engineer / tape op. He claimed he was at Trident at the time ... the plot thickens indeed.

- Spike Drake: Assistant engineer at either The Town House or Sarm West or both.

- Noel Harris: Assistant engineer at The Town House.

- Trip Khalaf: Live sound mixer.

- Collie? .[/QUOTE]

Julie Nash was BM's PA for a while.

"Collie" John Collins was John's roadie. He replaced Ratty before the Magic Tour, but remained when Ratty returned to help cover Spike and JD

Cheers!

^^^ no probs :)

Silly me, I think I know who she is ... did she marry John Glover between 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo'?

And also is a "professional" musician himself. He is with the Group "Sahara" (Vocals / Bass). As Munich is a small place, he also teamed up with Paul Vincent( who died recently) for a project.
