Thank you very much for your feedback - I am going to try to fix it in the next days. And if you find more, please leave me a note.
I used OpenAIs Whisper to do the transcript and was very greatful that - over all - it worked so good. But when I read the result for the first time, it was clear that I had to manually adjust some misunderstandings.
But at some point, the AI and I reached a limit, so I am really happy that you helped me out - before I spread some more wrong assumptions about PSB and Electronic... ;)

OK, the AI did a pretty impressive job then, because sometimes our lads do sound garbled! I see you've already adopted the Whammo Bammo - I've just sent you a DM with a few more lines that could be fine-tuned. Thanks again for putting that clip together for us! :D

Nevertheless, the issue is still unresolved. How much did Chris work on Getting Away With It? and why didn't he get credited for it?

He didn't write GAWI but several accounts tell us that he actually worked on it, tweaked the bassline and also played. So at least a credit as a studio musician would've been appropriate.

You've got me all wrong

Oh, I saw that I even missed basic ones (most embarrasing: "there´s a gun in your hand, pointing at your head" ;)), even though I checked the German translation and all sound good - up to now. And I remembered that "unless you have sort of biographer of a 24 hour call" was not really understandable by me, and even now I even don´t get it.
There is an AI that can extract voices from songs - it would might have helped here also the OpenAI whisper AI, but I forgot about it...
And I misunderstood from this thread that he "should bring Chris along" - even after checking the sequence several times I could not believe that he should have said "along". So in fact, it really was "down", so I had to revert the correction ;)

It should be fixed now for EN and DE.
If somebody from another country is reading this, feel free if you want/can do an additional translation (maybe assisted by a translation tool) - I can add any other language if you want...

The sense of this sentence definitely was that he should bring Chris along with him but he used the word "down" instead, as in "down to the studio" as you correctly surmised earlier.

"Unless you have a sort of biographer on 24-hour call" = "unless you have a biographer on call (i.e. available) 24 hours a day". I think Chris was pointing out that you never really get the juiciest quotes unless you have someone lurking behind you all the time like Chris Heath did, to the point that they almost forgot he was there (or why) and didn't think about what they were saying in front of him.
