Deceptive Bends is a favourite of mine.

Do you remember Wax with Graham Gouldman and Andrew Gold? I used to wonder how the pairing came about. The reason being that Andrew Gold was actually going to be in 10CC but commitments elsewhere at the time meant it didn't happen. Sadly he died in 2011.

remember buying consequences by creme and godley when it came out late70s i think. they had developed a new instrument a!d wanted to showcase it i think. the album was quite good in places but the instrument i think faded into obscurity. think i must have given it away as i dont have it anymore. pity

Deceptive Bends was the first LP I ever bought! I bought it second hand, with Supertramp's Even in the Quietest Moments being my first new album. Oh! and ELO Horace Wimp my first single.

The device you've mentioned was the Gizmotron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gizmo

Thanks to Chris and Stephen for those links. I see it has been reinvented for release this year. Good to hear. Never knew Pagey used one...

Now the first of the 3 videos on the Gizmotron website struck me because I remember Pete Townshend had a number of Les Paul guitars just like that http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/guitar/lpdeluxe.html
