1978 German/UK 7" Big A: Caribbean Air Control

Info from Martin Wedge: 'The song 'Caribbean Air Control' from 1978 which feature T Horn is by BIG A. I know this because I have the record, with Trevor on the cover in a flying suit and goggles, and the band on the back. It was a UK release on Sonet Records.'

27 Oct 1978 UK 7" Big A: Fly on Ufo

Fly on Ufo/Ofu No Ylf (Sonet SON 2167) Produced by T. C. Horn. A written by A.Everitt, T.Horn, B written by A.Everitt, T.Horn, C. Trevor. Info from Timothy Schoonover: "The picture sleeve is set up like a comic strip, with pictures of a pilot at his controls, and voices coming from Houston Control through speaker. The lyrics are all through the comic strip. Both Versions of "Fly on UFO" are unique, different than Chromium. Includes a bit of deleted lyrics from Skyfox and Houston Control left out in the later versions."

Info from Wouter Weyland: "Its colours are like a black and white photograph with a third colour used which is pink. This C.Trevor wouldn't it be just the C from Trevor C. Horn messed up with his first name?"

Geoff Downes: "Chromium was a project between myself and Trevor Horn. We did an album, basically a year before we did the Buggles' stuff. Trevor had done this album called 'Carribean Air Control'. The guy who ran the Hit Factory in America got a copy of this record and really enjoyed it. He offered me and Trevor to make an album of disco music. It was pre-Buggles, but a bit more mainstream. We did the album in New York, and I think it came out on Hit Factory's own label. I never even got a copy of it myself (laughs)." (from the official Asia site).

Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes didn't actually play on this LP, they only co-wrote these songs. I mention this LP because Buggles has its roots here. Dave Crane told me: "UK and US editions have different covers, and I believe may have different mixes of certain tracks - "VKTRS" appears to be available in 3 different mixes on the various formats (The "English Garden" album was issued in August 2000 on the Epic label in the UK, but used the US mix of "VKTRS")."

Thanks to Tim and Steve Masson in general, and to Rolf Muckel for info on German singles.
