Sebastian, really nice research, but you forgot about Croydon: Paul "Croydon" Cook - assistant engineer at Townhouse Studios on AKOM. He was a drummer in Sex Pistols as well.
There's a slight confusion in discogs but anyway...

Yes[/QUOTE]
Then obviously she was quite crucial.

I'd always wondered who that 'Croydon' person was. Thanks!
Thanks to Bohardy and cmsdrums for the info on Mr Lee as well.

'Made in Heaven':
* Ashley Alexander: Assistant engineer at Abbey Road (Spring 1993) and The Town House (September 1995), which means he witnessed both the beginning and end of the project.
* Mike Crossley: Played synths in the Spring 1993 sessions. Whether those bits survived to the final cut is unknown ... though the fact he's mentioned could suggest so.
* Frederick Delius: Quoted on IABD.
* Noel Harris: Chief engineer when John and Roger did the preliminary work at Abbey Road in Spring 1993, before Brian's involvement.
* David Mallet: Directing the video for the lead single (and probably others ... IDK).
* Gustavo Moratorio and Crispin Murray: Assistant engineers at Metropolis.
* Barry Woodward: Assistant engineer at The Town House.
* Ian Sylvester: In charge of transferring material to digital. He's also thanked on 'Innuendo', 'Back to the Light' and 'Brixton Academy.'
* Peter Chant: I think he's been their (and/or Brian's) accountant for a while now.
* Spike Edney: Did he play on any of the studio cuts? Or perhaps it was because they sample some bits of the Magic Tour...
* Karen Goodman: She was the studio manager at Metropolis. She's also thanked on Innuendo and some of Brian's albums (coincidentally, those which were partly recorded or mixed at Metropolis).
* Melanie Keady: Brian's PA in America. She's also thanked on 'Another World' (I think) and TCR.
* Erdal Kizilcay: Since he's also credited on 'Shove It', my guess is that perhaps he was somewhat involved with 'Heaven for Everyone.' Erdal is a Turkish-born Swiss-based multi-instrumentalist who's worked with Bowie and others, so perhaps he did some ghost instrumentation on it (perhaps the famous nylon-strung guitar bit?). As a curiosity, he also played bass on a 1987 Freddie demo ('Yellow Breezes').
* Robert Lee: QPL secretary.
* Neal Levin: Again, I don't know who he is/was but he was involved with Queen at least since 'The Works', and is also thanked on both 'Back to the Light' and 'Another World'.
* Richard Lyttleton: EMI executive.
* Anne Meyer: She's been part of the management for a while now, and also thanked on 'Brixton Academy', 'Cosmos Rocks', etc.
* Penny Robinson: One of the management directors at The Town House, also thanked on 'The Miracle' and 'Back to the Light.'
* Gerry Stickells: Touring manager.
* Gavin Taylor: Directed the 'Wembley' video, but no idea about his MIH connexion.
* Vicky Vocat: I think she's some sort of publicist since she's also thanked on other Queen and Queen-related issues and was since made spokeperson for the Phoenix Trust.
And then, of course, Phoebe, Mary and Joe for their association with Fred (though Jim's not mentioned ... odd).
Which leaves the following ten people whom I've no idea who they are and why they were thanked:
Stephen Blood
Ruadhri Cushnan
Ben Gibson
Vernon Handley
Fitz Jackson
Anita Keogh
Alistair McLaren
Jane Moraz
Bob Taylor
Paul Twomey

Bob Taylor could be the Bob Taylor who owns a company called Event Cover, they provide in house crew at major gigs to help the touring crews. They may have had a hand in helping at the Wembley tribute.

- Dr. Hans Zarkov: formerly of NASA, now 'care-in-the-community' mad scientist
- Prince Barin: over-privileged mummy's boy who can't satisfy Aura under the sheets.
