Ich bin auf einen interessanten Artikel gestossen, der wohl allen Gerüchten Steve Winwood habe auf ARMCHAIR THEATRE in irgendeiner Form mitgewirkt den garaus macht:
Jeff Lynne: Armchair Theatre (1990) – Resolved!
Selected discography:
CD / Reprise / 9 26184-2 / US
Resolution: Steve Winwood has personally communicated that he did not perform on this album (many thanks to Steve Winwood, 10/2002).
Background: An email from an unidentified sender, in September 2000, points toward a possible contribution by Steve during the sessions for this Jeff Lynne solo album. The email mentioned an article which said that, from the sender’s memory, „one of the other contributors to that album says that he felt lucky to have a song on the CD due to the one with Steve having been dropped“. Other contributors to those sessions included George Harrison and Tom Petty! The album does not credit Steve with playing, but the „Thanks to“ section includes him along with other people who were involved with the project. This lends some credence to the email.
Three non-album tracks from the sessions were released on singles. Based on listening, there are no obvious contributions by Steve on the CD or on the non-album tracks. The keyboard lines on „Lift Me Up“ do sound like they could be Steve, though.
