  2. Mitchell/Coe Mysteries - Exiled - is a 1980 concept album ala space project by songwriters Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe. It features famous British musicians such as Francis Rossi (Status Quo), Dan McCafferty (Nazareth), Terry Cassidy (Strawbs) with backing vocals by the duo Hudson-Ford (who also had a stint Strawbs (drummer Richard Hudson and bassist John Ford)) and keyboards by Chris Parren (Strawbs/Hudson-Ford), Colin Blunstone (The Zombies) and Lesley Duncan. Incidentally, both Duncan & Blunstone provided their vocal prowess on past Alan Parsons Project albums. Lesley Duncan sang lead on the track "If I Could Change Your Mind" from the 1979 album Eve while Colin Blunstone worked on a song each from the albums Eye In The Sky (1982-track: Old And Wise), Ammonia Avenue (1984-track: Dancing On A Highwire) and Vulture Culture (1985-track: Somebody Out There).
