Both 'I've Got Your Number' and 'Picture Of Innocence' were songs that we wrote a few years ago, hence Jon's inclusion as a writer but not as a performer, although he is on one of the demos.

IGYN started at the same writing session [as POI] in Orlando but by the time we made a demo in Steve's studio it had undergone several changes; it was far, far more complicated to begin with - the riff was in various time signatures as the drums just thundered through in straight 4/4. We simplified it, wrote some lyrics, mostly IG's, and started performing it under the title 'Up The Wall'. However, it always felt unfinished and it was only when we got to LA and played it for Michael that he suggested that it needed a chorus, so we wrote one. As is often the case, IG sang garbled words over the band as we routined it, I thought I heard him sing the words 'I got your number' although he probably didn't; he kind of sings words that aren't words but sound like they are. Anyway, I sang them back to him and it clicked. There is the song.

So, Jon wrote them with us but Don played on the record. There are several ideas kicking around that were written while Jon was still with us and some of them have great potential. I hope one day we'll be able to work on them again. -- Roger Glover, August 2003

RC: Did you originally record the whole of the "Battle" album with Joe Lynn Turner?
RB: No, just two tracks: "Stroke Of Midnight" and "Lonely For You" (neither of which appeared on the album).
