csl-oldfield-fan Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: Feb. 2007 Posted: Feb. 20 2007, 11:05 I've seen a few postings about the different vocalists on "Magic Touch," Max Bacon & Jim Price.  The only copy of Islands that I've ever had is the version released on CD in the U.S. in 2000.  According to the liner notes for this release, the singer on "Magic Touch" is Jim Price.  Who is he?  The only reference I can find about him on the internet is the fact that he sings on "Magic Touch."  Does anyone have any information on his other musical endeavors?

csl-oldfield-fan Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: Feb. 2007 Posted: Feb. 21 2007, 01:05 Thanks Ugo, but I don't think the Jim Price described on the Wikipedia link is the same Jim Price on "Magic Touch."  Notice that there is no mention of "Magic Touch" on this entry. Does anyone have definitive background information on the Jim Price that sings on "Magic Touch"? Back to top

See here.   That's the wrong Jim Price. Jim Price is Scottish actually, from Rutherglen. Is a bassist/vocalist. Is part of a band called Southside Jimmy currentley. Jim also toured with Mike during the promotional tour for Islands as a bassist. You can check out Jim's website at: www.southsidejimmy.co.uk -------------- http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/TheAlternativeMikeOldfieldGroup/ Back to top

stpaul Group: Members Posts: 230 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: Jan. 11 2012, 16:01 I always wondered who were the people in Mike's playback band in 1987. The bass player was Magic Touch vocalist Jim Price who calls himself Southside Jimmy: Southside Jimmy Back to top

Nacho Group: Members Posts: 230 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Jan. 13 2012, 08:59 His voice has changed a lot, after 25 years!! And it is funny that in his bio he says he toured Europe extensively with Mike, given that there were no gigs at that time, only tv playbacks!!   Back to top

Don´t know yet who the drummer was. Back to top
