    Isotope/Geoff Downes

    I just found out from Prog Archives that Geoff Downes was a later member of Isotope in 1977 as I was scrolling through their pages listening to their debut album. According to Prog Archives he recorded radio sessions in 1977. Is that the Peel sessions on "Live at the BBC"? I don't have that release but don't believe Geoff is credited on it.

    Yes. Geoff plays on the last session which is actually the Gary Boyle Band rather than Isotope proper. There is another keyboard player - Geoff is really the "rhythm keyboard player" rather than playing the leads.

    Many thanks for the informative reply. I'll have to track it down.
