While all the albums bear the name Colin Newman they differ in that A-Z \u0026amp; Not To were recorded as band albums with Colin being joined by Wires Robert Grey, Mike Thorne (who also produced, as he had the first 3 Wire albums) \u0026amp; Desmond Simmons on A-Z and Robert, Desmond \u0026amp; Simon Gillham on Not To. provisionally entitled the singing fish was more an actual solo album in that everything was played by himself. Colin produced the latter 2 albums with Steve Parker engineering.provisionally entitled the singing fish (disc 2), tracks 14 were fish with vocals, originally included on a free disc called CN1 that came with the CD re-release of provisionally entitled the singing fish \/ Not To. The vocals were added retrospectively (in 1984) and recorded by John Fryer in Blackwing. Track 5 prefaced the recording of provisionally entitled the singing fish and was recorded solo in the same way as the album; it was the B-side to the single Inventory. The remaining tracks, with the exception of track 10, were recorded solo in Colins flat in West Norwood. Track 11 features a drum loop of Robert. We have no idea what the circumstance was for the recording of track 10, but it has been titled for what it is: a rare example of Soft Option (the band that played on Not To) just playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Colin Newman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027527471185,"sku":"2KW1RB-O2W9-E6","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/colin-newman-provisionally-entitled-the-singing-fish_xVUbb.jpg?v=1762488679","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/colin-newman-provisionally-entitled-the-singing-fish-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
