Phil’s 1978 solo release, K-Scope, was recorded in the home studio of Chris Squier and featured Tim Finn on most lead vocals, Neil on on at least one backup and Split Enz/Crowded House keyboardest Eddie Rayner. John Wetton and Bill MacCormick were all over it as well. I think if I had played the above track, Cuban Crises, folks would’ve gotten the Finn part but not the Manzanera part?
Here’s my favorite track from this fun but hit or miss album:

If you dig ’70 era Roxy, Eno, Ferry then I’d suggest Phil’s first solo album Diamond Head. I’m sure there are other opinions out there.
alexmagic is clearly The Man here and those of you thinking Squeeze and The Specials were definitely in the stadium.

Let’s review the ground rules here. The Mystery Date song is not necessarily something I believe to be good. So feel free to rip it or praise it. Makes me no never mind. Rather the song is something of interest due to the artist, influences, time period… Your job is to decipher as much as you can about the artist without research. Who do you think it is? Or, Who do you think it sounds like? When do you think it was recorded? Etc…
If you know who it is, don’t spoil it for the rest. We have a new component called the “mockcarr option.” This option is for those of you who just can’t hold your tongue and must let everyone know just how in-the-know you are by calling it. So if you know who it is and want everyone else to know that you know, email The Back Office at thebackoffice[at]rocktownhall.com. If correct we will post how brilliant you are in the Comments section.
The real test of strength though is to guess as close as possible without knowing. Ready, steady, go!
