I would post the link but out says the website is not secure so might not be wise to look up .. you can find it on google if you are so inclined Another mystery to solve! Anyone here know who the female background singers are on "Showdown" by Electric Light Orchestra? cherryblossomclinic.x10.mx/dickplant.htmlPS: On Showdown, Jeff Lynne used female background singers. Have you got any information about those women? DP: They were three girls who were regular and well known session singers. I can't remember exactly who they were, but I do know that I knew them all well at the time. The female session singers back then were brilliant - much easier to work with than the guys. They always made a real effort to look nice, as well, which was good for morale! I remember that there was a fashion for very floaty and transparent dresses that they used to wear. Nothing to do with an ELO session, but we discovered that, by turning off the main studio lights and putting a single light low down at the back of the studio, we could see right through their dresses! They knew we were doing it, too, but it didn't bother them. Great girls!

I wonder what specific songs he's referring to. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Boy Blue and the intro of One Summer Dream. Whatever those songs are, they would have to be from Eldorado, since Plant didn't engineer any ELO sessions after that album.

But Plant shows up in the album credits (through ANWR) in an engineering capacity.

That's because the string and choral overdubs were still being done at UK's De Lane Lea Studios with Dick Plant as engineer!
