West End - The Love I Lost

The truth on the on West End attachment here is the following. I was West End, solely, I was signed to PWL with the idea of doing the song The Love I Lost, we had another vocalist, Ann Marie Smith, but a wonderful guy called Tilly Rutherford at PWL suggested Sybil and we went with that choice. I then spent weeks in the PWL studios with Tony King an engineer and Asher a keyboard player, together we formed AKA the remix name. I couldn't be the artist and the remixer at the same time. We created the mix for radio which was Pete Waterman cloned after with faster drums, they used EXACTLY the same drums on Sybil's next record, When I'm Good And Ready. Talk about lazy. Play the two records together and they will flange. The Love I Lost Unrequited remix was a total AKA mix as was the The Love I Dub, which in fact was six dub passes edited together to form one 13 minute underground remix for the big DJ's playing in the Ministry Of Sound club.

The record features no other outside remixes just ours and was a UK Club No.1 for 5 weeks as well as peaking at No.3 in the UK National singles Chart in 1993. I did the club promotion by myself but it was easy the record was a smash thanks to Sybil and thank you Tilly Rutherford too.

The reason you won't find my name on the record is because Pete Waterman and Mike Stock decided that due to the success of the Love I Lost they would now be West End until I threatened to sue them with backing from American Express legal insurance of 250k, they backed off spitefully, hence the bad behavior with the label copy. They then sent a fax around to the entire record industry to say that I played no part in the recording process to try and stop West End from being hired as remixers by the UK industry, all it did was make us more popular for standing up to him. On the other hand they, PWL, sent me a BPI disc for 200'000 odd sales and for years paid me a royalty cheque so publicly were saying one thing but legally another. A further spike in their ire was when West End featuring Sybil went on Top Of The Pops and the announcer, Tony Dorty, introduced the act on TV with "the man behind West End is Eddie Gordon", after another PWL employee at the TV show rehearsal told him what they were up doing. Multi Millionaires but the same old story from rich but scared people.

Eddie Gordon

"Eddie Gordon - the career of a new Millennium, innovative, forward thinking mind that has shaped the way music is presented to millions of people the world over with his visionary attitude to life's changes and the reason why music is so influential in all of our lives from the cradle to the grave."
