Andrew Rose

Twice as Much was composed of Dave Skinner (born David Ferguson Skinner, 4 July 1946) and Andrew Rose (born Andrew Colin Campbell Rose, 12 March 1946, Edgware, Middlesex) and were harmony singers who also wrote much of their own material. They were signed to Immediate Records, which was run by The Rolling Stones manager, Andrew Loog Oldham.The pair recorded four singles (Sittin on a Fence b/w Baby I Want You; Step Out of Line / Simplified; True Story / Youre So Good For Me; Crystal Ball / Why Cant They All Go And Leave Me Alone) and two albums, Own Up and Thats All (featuring Vashti Bunyan) between 1966 and 1968 for Immediate. Most of these recordings were pop in the Peter and Gordon/Chad and Jeremy mold, with light orchestral pop/rock arrangements, that sometimes employed a touch of the baroque.Their songs have been recorded by Del Shannon (Life Is But Nothing, Easy to Say), Chris Farlowe (Youre So Good For Me, Life Is But Nothing), P. P. Arnold (Everything Is Gonna be Alright, Youre So Good for Me, Life Is But Nothing) and Nicky Scott (Chain Reaction, Everything Is Gonna be Alright).Their only UK Top 40 success as performers was a cover of the Mick Jaggers and Keith Richards composition Sittin on a Fence (1966). The Stones version of the song, although recorded in December 1965, was not released on a Stones album in the US until 1967 and not in the UK (where it again emerged as an album track) until 1969.In 1972, Skinner joined Uncle Dog, a group including vocalist, Carol Grimes. He penned most of the tracks on their album, Old Hat. He was also a member of Clancy. In 1977/8, Skinner toured as the keyboard player with Roxy Music. He also contributed to albums by Phil Manzanera and Bryan Ferry.
