Where
is the IIx from Sarm? I'm assuming that was Trevor Horn's
Fairlight?

In his autobiography, Pete talks about the TDF mix of "You spin me.." and how he
used the Fairlight for the sample of the two dogs f**ing. OK, so he talks a lot of crap,
but it's a fun read all the same! He also makes it clear that Aitken and Waterman did
the vast majority of the music.
I definitely hear elbass all over their stuff, and the brass sound is very CMI-esque.
I also know that not only did they always have the best gear, but the best people too-
programmers and engineers especially.
Actually, there must be tape streamers out there with vocal spin-ins from the Hit
Factory and other big eighties studios... it would be cool to hear those. I do
remember seeing Tim Friese Greene's series 2 on auction at Vemia, with the disks
from Talk Talk's Colour of Spring. Did anyone here buy those? And I know where the
IIx from Sarm is, although it currently has dead disk drives. There's an instrument
that could tell tales!!
