I was listening to Moonlight Shadow and I noticed at 1.03 when Maggie sings ".. man on the run" I hear a male voice singing "Run". Is this Mike? I never noticed it before.

Either Mike, or Barry Palmer, who sang on one of the (many) other demo versions of the song before Mike settled on the one sung by a very-close-to-the-microphone-and-at-a-very-low-volume Maggie Reilly. :)

As far as I'm aware, Barry Palmer was only contacted by Mike with a view to him singing on the Crises tour - after the album was recorded. Their first session together was Crime Of Passion.

There are various bits of male backing vocals in the track, most notably those backing up the 'far away on the other side' bit. I can only assume that they're Mike, though Phil Spalding sings, so it could conceivably also be him.

i always thought that that is Mike because i saw him on Backing Vocals Live during "Moonlight Shadow" (80's show)and in video he was singing too
