Caught the 'classic albums' slot on Lou Reed's Transformer on ITV last night, & there was good old Herbie Flowers spilling the beans on how doubling upright & electric bass on 'Walk On The Wildside' meant he doubled his fee, and how he and a bunch of other "wily old session pros" bumped up their fees still more by getting together a bunch of mates to play dixie on 'Goodnight Ladies': I'll long have the image of old Herbie parping away on a big red tuba in my memory...Brilliant stuff.
Is there anything these guys didn't play on back in the day?
