Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...interwebz say: ...'‘The Who’s’ bassist, John Entwistle, came to play a hugely significant role in Cast’s success giving the band a real boost of encouragement; a friendship was struck and the band begun to record at John’s studio. ‘All Change’ was produced by the legendary John Leckie, the man behind ‘The Stone Roses’ debut, whose credits include ‘Radiohead’, ‘New Order’ and ‘The Verve’ to name a few'...
