Tony Goes to Tokyo... is probably my most played piece of Bill's music. Whilst listening the other day to the sparkled up version on Transcorder, I remembered something I read about the song, (in Sounds?), way back when it was first released. If I remember correctly, it was written about Tony Mitchell visiting Japan at around that time. Was Tony the writer for Sounds that always gave Bill's music a glowing report, and have I remembered the origins of the song correctly?

Talking Tony in Tokyo
Does anyone have any information about Time and Place (Live) by Yukihiro Takahashi 1984 as I know Bill plays guitar on it? Was this a one off concert and was Bill living in Japan for a while as he guested on 2 earlier Takahashi albums also and how does this all tie in with the YMO?
All a long time ago but a part of Bill's career I do not know much about.
