Miss World was immaculately conceived by Perkins, Chris Thomas and

Miss World appropriated Martin Chambers

from heaven. |

by many

information,
ethos and Glamour from the stage. |
Chris Thomas produced 90% of the original Anxious LP album in a
couple of
weeks at
Dave Stewart’s studio
in the south of France.
(Chris was only
asked to do a few demos, and he gave us an album) |
Working with Chris was an illuminating, magical and unforgettable
experience,
informing all Miss World’s’ future work.
Nick Addison engineered it and Olle Romo programmed.
Norelle Stephens
cooked.
Chris bought the Ricard and Rose, Miss World provided the Rouge. |
