It is basically the orginal Keats front cover (I assume - I'd never heard of the album until I read your pages!) with "...Plus" tacked on the right hand side about half inch down. So "Keats ...Plus" I guess is right. The track listing is the one you give with "Turn Your Heart Around (single version)" as the 11th track (one second difference in the timing!). "Give It Up" is not on it. Shame really as they were hardly cramped for space! The "liner" basically includes notes from someone called something like Fraser Massey (who he?) giving the background to the personnel and how the record came about being recorded and what has happened since. In other words they are new liner notes. These are interesting as reading the various extracts on your web pages makes it sound like Woolfson pulled it all together. These notes describe it as Bairnson, Paton and Elliott thinking they sounded good with Blunstone (who they hadn't really met as vocalists were recorded separately by Parsons), and Paton having brought in Bardens having been working with him. Woolfson, who was in Keats restaurant with them at the time they were discussing it, arranged the record contract for them. There is also a double width group photo which allegedly comes from the original CD or LP. - Graham Johnson There are four slightly different versions of the Keats album around: The Original Release The Original US Release which featured Give It Up in place of Hollywood Heart Keats... Plus which is the same as the original release with the addition of "Turn Your Heart Around (single version)" The 1996 Release which features all of the album tracks, plus interviews with Ian Bairnson and Alan Parsons

I was approached by Renaissance before they did their "Keats" release, and they were asking for help regarding "bonus tracks". The first thing I pointed out to them was that there were eleven Keats songs across the previous two releases, so I sent them on their way to secure rights to all the songs. Later they had the idea of adding interview tracks and came back to me. I had already interviewed Ian for The Avenue, and the in-person interview was on tape (recorded in Las Vegas and Milwaukee). My idea was to take the original tapes and have them edited. Someone (I can't remember who) thought it would be better to do it from scratch. Usually the interviews that aren't done in person for The Avenue are done by phone, and those too are recorded. In this case, it was felt that the high quality of the CD might reveal any imperfections a recording of an overseas phone call might have. So someone (again my aging brain can't remember) decided that since Alan and Ian both have studios they could do their end in their own studios. The questions. I wrote the questions and faxed them to Alan and Ian. The two were then given the chance to add/delete any questions (I don't recall them changing it at all). The interviewer. Originally it was supposed to be my voice asking the questions, but Renaissance decided to use someone else. Whoever it is took my original question sheet and recorded them. The questions and answers were merged together, and the rest is history. I could have flown to England to do it all in-person, but seeing that Renaissance never even gave me so much as a free disc, I doubt they would have paid for my flight. - Steve Martin (editor of The Avenue) There are four slightly different versions of the Keats album around: The Original Release The Original US Release which featured Give It Up in place of Hollywood Heart Keats...

There are four slightly different versions of the Keats album around: The Original Release The Original US Release which featured Give It Up in place of Hollywood Heart Keats... Plus which is the same as the original release with the addition of "Turn Your Heart Around (single version)" The 1996 Release which features all of the album tracks, plus interviews with Ian Bairnson and Alan Parsons ... to prove that this album is going through a deevolution phase, Disky rereleased the original European one in late 1997. - Wesley Chun From the Japanese import liner notes (translated from Japanese)... This album was the (only) recording by APP plus ex-Camel keyboard player Peter Bardens, produced by Alan Parsons. This album was recorded between 83/12 and 84/3 at Abbey Road Studios, London, and released in 84/8 in UK. This album had not previously been released before in Japan. This album is supposed to have been made just after the recording for Ammonia Avenue (released 84/2 in UK), and the preparation was done simultaneously with the work for AA. Eric Woolfson worked as a "coordinator," i.e. he recruited Ian, David (both are members from ToMai), and Stuart from APP, and Pete from Camel. Eric was introduced to Peter by Andrew Latimer(sp?), the guitarist for Camel. He chose Colin Blunstone (ex-Zombies) as a vocalist. He named the band after the restaurant he frequented, not after the poet John Keats. On Peter Bardens: He was a member of Shotgun Express (Rod Stewart was a member of this band) in the 60s. In 1972, he and Andrew and others formed Camel. The album Snow Goose released in 1975 was a masterpiece. In 1978, after Camel released Breathless, he left the band. In 1979, he released Heart to Heart (this was his third solo album). In 1983 he produced Touch, a single by Colin Blunstone. Mel Collins plays saxophone on the B-side of the single. After Keats, he released Seen One Earth in 1987 on the Cinema Label, and in 1993, Further Than You Know (his 7th solo album) from Miramar. Richard Cottle plays sax and keyboards as a "guest player," and continues from this point as a tenured APP-member, starting from Vulture Culture. For track 4 (Walking on Ice) lead vocal is David Paton. Peter Bardens plays Space Invaders here. Track 7 (Turn Your Head Around) was released as a single, but never went into charts. This CD is based on the original EMI release. The track order on the US LP version is different (1,2,3,4,5,7,6,"Give It Up",9,10). Give It Up was written by Ian Bairnson. The liner notes were prepared (in Japanese) by Michikazu Kosuga (or Kosuge) on 94/01/21. Kosuga's editorial notes: This album is best described as "the Alan Parsons Project meets Camel." Though made without Eric Woolfson, the essence of his music is heard on this album, and also on Try Anything Once. A Peter Bardens fan who knew his delicate style on Camel albums may be astonished by the introduction to 1 in 'common pop' style, like Runaway by Bon Jovi. This "common pop" style is inherited to Somebody Out There (on Vulture Culture), and VC throughout. Alan and Eric might have regarded Keats as a 'guinea pig' for APP, who began recording VC on 84/5, just two months after the release of this album with Keats minus Peter plus Lenny Zakatek and Chris Rainbow. This album has some excellent tracks like 3 and 4. There should have been more tracks sung by David Paton. - Tateisi Yuka
