The story
Rupert Hine was a producer and keyboard player in the early and mid-1970s before he formed this jazz rock fusion band. Working with some of his regular studio session musicians like bassist/vocalist John G. Perry, and Simon Jeffes with whom he had collaborated on string arrangements since Hine's first solo album in 1971, 1838660. Jeffes formed Penguin Cafe Orchestra, but continued to collaborate on the Quantum Jump albums.
Some time after the 'Barracuda' line-up had disbanded, (percussion) was rehearsing with a new line up of Quantum Jump, including: (guitarist with Tom Jones), (Caravan), (The Peddlars) and (Kokomo), when Kenny Everett’s TV show took-off, on which 'The Lone Ranger' was the theme. It was hastily re-released and entered the chart on 2nd June 1979, rising to no.5 and staying on the chart for a total of 10 weeks. The original Quantum Jump reformed, and the newly recruited musicians were no longer required.
