TrackTalk
(C)ome to think of it, I play synthesizer
and
three other instruments on Heaven on the new album.
That's just
me, Mick and Charlie on that track - only nobody realizes it
because there
are no credits on the album.

Bill Wyman, 1981
I played on Heaven, I played alleged
piano on Heaven. That was laid down with just Charlie,
Mick and
I, I think. I don't think anyone else was in the room. But the
session
was called for like midnight and Mick and Charlie were the first
to arrive
and Mick started playing the chord sequence and I sat down at
the piano
and started following along and next thing I knew it sounded
really good.
So I told the assistant to roll it and we put some things on it
and it
sounded very good.

Chris Kimsey, 1982
Yeah (I wrote that)... I'm afraid it wasn't
a tribute to (John Lennon). I don't know why it was called that.
