Andy Richards' 80:10 Pt 1 (The Early Years, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Trevor Horn, Peter Collins)
Manage episode 447632393 series 2844478
A great guy, a wonderful chat and a borderline genius of the keyboard, Andy Richards played on seven number ones of the 80s and loads more hits besides (as I attempt to define throughout the conversation).
1. THE EARLY YEARS (PRE-1980-83)
Andy’s background in music culminating in him reaching the studio,
And how working on jingles set him up for 80s chart success (cf Relax).
2. FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD (1983-86)
Andy sprinkles his magic synth-dust all over Relax for Trevor Horn as well as working on Two Tribes and the Welcome to the Pleasure Dome LP.
Also discussed is the contrast with working on the follow-up, Liverpool.
Rage Hard!
3. TREVOR HORN (1983-86)
As well as Frankie, Andy worked on other Trevor Horn projects such as
Duck Rock, the massively influential Propaganda LP, A Secret Wish plus
the trifecta of 1985 pop perfection singles; Duel, Cry and Slave To The Rhythm.
4. PETER COLLINS (1983-89)
Another producer Andy cultivated a long working relationship with in the 80s was
the late Peter Collins. From the pop of Nik Kershaw to the rawk of Rush and
Gary Moore.
EITHER/OR
New feature (any excuse for another QFR). Andy’s 80s choices.
Duran or Wham was a bit of a no brainer (unless he secretly worked on The Reflex as well)
