nik venet iii
Consider this possibility: some years ago, Nik Venet told Adam Marsland that the original bass parts on the "WH" album had to be re-tracked due to some problem with the way they were recorded. He was thinking it was Ray Pohlman who redid the bass, but it could just as easily have been Ron Brown. And perhaps the AFM sheet from that overdub session just hasn't materialized (not all the sheets from the "WH" sessions have turned up). NOW, we all know Nik Venet was (a) full of the stinky stuff, and (b) not intimately involved with the Boys by this time. However, I believe he was still an A&R guy at Capitol at the time, and therefore could have been at least peripherally involved (or at least aware) of some administration-type aspects of their recording career. It's worth pondering. And it would explain Ron Brown playing bass on the album without being on the sheets.
