Sometime in 1979, the Japanese music magazine Rock Show ran an article featuring a joint interview with Trevor and former Bay City Rollers frontman Les McKeown. As teen idols both gentlemen enjoyed very enthusiastic followings in Japan and neither were strangers to the pages of such publications. But it is surprising - to me at least - that Trevor would find himself in the same room with the lead singer of the very band which his former bandmate (Duncan Faure) had been hired to replace.
Small world, huh?
Thanks to some handy translation work from my dear Rabinite BFF fiendish_thingy, it appears the primary topic of conversation had to do with the benefits of a solo career, as by that point both Trevor and Les had departed successful bands to go it alone. And all the photos - but particularly the ones where they are seated at a recording console - were most likely taken at Konk Studios, the facility in North London owned by Ray Davies of The Kinks, where both Trevor and Les worked that year: Trevor producing albums for Wild Horses and Noel McCalla, and Les recording his solo debut All Washed Up. Trevor would also record his third solo album Wolf at the studio.
