did he mention John playing on E.B.? its not mentioned in the album liner notes,there it says track 1,2,7,11. Maybe i misunderstood,not sure. Going from memory I thought EB was one of the last tracks recorded. Which would mean John had quit by the time it was created. But I could definitely be remembering wrong. ELECTRIC BARBARELLA WRITTEN BY RHODES/LE BON/CUCCURULLO WARREN CUCCURULLO PLAYS BASS LYRICS WRITTEN BY NICK RHODES
This song was written after John had left the band. It was done very quickly due to a manager asking the band to write something like the Blondie stuff Warren and Nick did. And in fact, Electric Barbarella kind of reminds to the song Studio 54.--- durancompilations.com/medazzaland.html---

I think EB also shares DNA with Plastic Girl, which John was involved with. PL YOU clearly was finished too - would have made a good b side to EB

Funny story about them getting PL You and Ball and Chain first (to mix) and making a comment about them working on the last Duran Duran album ever.
Those two lumped in with Sinner or Saint are fine as balls out WC rawkers but don't really fit with the rest of the album. Seems like that might have been the initial direction though.

I remember reading that Warren and Nick had written it with Blondie in mind, but Simon heard it first and asked that they save it for Medazzaland... I didn't know that Nick wrote the lyrics! When I first heard Electric Barbarella, it sounded like they had come full circle from Planet Earth.

that was great, he seems very personable and shared some interesting and very cool thingsâboth for casual fans and for the ones who can rattle off the names and numbers of samplersâgonna have to send him a thank-you, and keep them coming!

Great stuffâŚwhat I found most fascinating is what DD handed AJR & Bob was very different from the finished version. My perception of the WC era was that stuff was more organically written vs today, where you have Ben Hudson/Erol Alkan/Nile heavily involved in the writingâŚbut it sounds like the âmixingâ done in this era was almost comparable. Not saying itâs a bad thing, just not what I expected.
Also, someone else mentioned Plastic GirlâŚI think that was just a one-off jam from DDâs March 1995 appearance on that âMost Wantedâ MTV show, not a demo.
