99.5 The Mountain - Phil Collen Interview Quotes
Delta Deep Album Guests
"Absolutely and we also got Paul Cook from Manraze and the Sex Pistols and Simon Laffy who was in my old band Girl and that. They're playing on the song Black Coffee. So like I said you know there wasn't to be all these guests and everything but it just worked out that way. You know I was talking to David Coverdale and initially we thought it would be great if he done Mistreated but I think he and Whitesnake are doing a bunch of Deep Purple like covers."
"So he said 'I can't really do that one but I'd like to do William Bell's Private Number' so we said great. Recorded it and he sounds amazing doing a duet with Debbi. And then he suggested 'I'd love to hear Joe sing Mistreated'. So you know I'd done it with Debbi so we just erased my one and Joe said (he'd) gladly (do it) so he killed it. And you know I just love the way that Joe done Mistreated. It was perfect. So yeah no, the whole thing's just great."
