    and david j and kev haskins guest on jazz butcher's (pat fish) second lp, scandal in  bohemia (from which that girlfriend single is from)

    David J was in the band, not a guest, for Scandal in Bohemia (that's why I posted Girlfriend). He was still in the band for the recording of S*x and Travel but left a few months after its release in 1985. 

    Kevin Haskins does not appear on Scandal in Bohemia but he did provide drums on the single version of Southern Mark Smith and its B side, The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula.

    * and as @craigb knows, Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins are in two of the bands. Northampton wasn't a very big town at the time.
