elo4evermattEr war nicht nur ein FAN, er bzw. sein Produzent Jack Douglas heuerten CT sogar als Backing Band an. Aber Yoko Ono wollte es nicht. Es war nicht gut für ihn, wie so oft. …

Nielsen didn’t blast Yoko, just explained diplomatically, „we were asked to do more for vocals. What I call those John Lennon baby voices (sings a little). But & ah & by then they were finished.
