There are, I believe, two versions of the Steve Earle thing, single and album versions.
Thanks Philip, amended accordingly. Can't believe I forgot about the single version of 'Johnny' - not heard it for a while but from memory it's pretty much the same as the album version but fades out more quickly. It's the 'White City' single mix next - do you recall if your and Kirty's backing vocals were done during the 'P&L' sessions or added as overdubs later?
No, cannot recall that, though they are likely to have been added later. I had also forgotten that Kirsty shared those BVs with me, though if you say it's so, you must have good cause to believe so. And indeed, I had completely forgotten that the single of "White City" was at all different from the album version. I really MUST play my own singles some day!
Well, the reason I thought Kirsty sang on it was coz of a very sarcastic post made by a certain Philipchevron a while back, having a go at Warners for insisting that every track released as a single was remixed and included backing vox from Kirsty! Of course I can't find the bloody post now, but it was something along the lines of you quoting Warners as saying 'I know, let's remix it with some of those Philip & Kirsty harmonies, we can never get enough of them' or some such. Having listened to it again having read the post, it does sound like the two of you on backing vox on the chorus. And it definitely is a different version.
Interestingly, I'm fairly certain that when you played White City at Manchester Apollo on the first reunion tour in 2001, you did the 'remix' version, with you and Daryll (I think) doing dome lovely "ooooh wooooh oooohs' on the chorus.
