Yes, I second that - the first Zaine's album called "Ashes and Diamonds".
Griff also sang on albums by Takahashi (What Me Worry) and Numan (Berserker), and on the 7" of Helden (Stranded). Maybe these should be added?

Sorry, fixed, it was a "typo" - I do all my discogs by manual coding, no html editor, so I copy and paste each "entry" for each record (so I don't have to type all the codes manually for each record) and in this case I forgot to change the "title".
About vocal contributions, I knew about them (I also did discographies for Takahashi-san and Numan) but never included them partly because I suffered a "discography overdose" at the time and wanted this discog online at all, and partly because I wasn't sure how many vocals he did for others. Also I was more inclined to include stuff he contributed to musically (with instruments / production) rather than vocals. I will see what happens. If demand is there, I will feel motivated. Cheers/JW

Jonas- if you have the time/energy I believe adding vocal appearances would be quite valuable. e.g. Billy MacKenzie's numerous guest vocals.
Your site is a great resource. Thank you!
Sugoi !!!

Thank you you too. Not sure if you mean by "e.g." (= for example) that I should add Billy's vocal contributions. If so, I have. If you mean I should add Zaine's vocal contributions *like I did with Billy*, I did so now. To be quite honest, I added Billy's all vocal contributions because he is a vocal God. I would also do that with David Sylvian and Bryan Ferry. No offense to Zaine, but few, if any, can compete with Billy. But I added his vocal contributions now, while I was at it. Cheers.

Jonas, I also heard Zaine worked with Bowie on the re-recording of "Space Oddity" and it was released on single, with Griff on bass and backing vocals. Maybe this one should be added too, if you're including instrumental/vocal contributions?

I recommend everyone waiting for the actual CDs. The iTunes versions of the first two albums are vinyl rips .

He was also in some groups (Baby Face, The Human Instinct, Screemer) that is also why I hesitated to add his non-solo stuff. I need to draw the line somewhere, but not sure where now. /JW
