The fate of If You Were There has been to lie in the archives, denied a public release. Anderson didn’t help his cause when news of his exit broke and he told the press that Michael was “a young millionaire with an inflated ego”. He was even ruder in private. One letter says: “Though talented in his very limited range, [Michael] is a spoiled, conceited dumbbell.”
Foreign Skies is far more snappily made – a martial arts sequence that Anderson put into a solemn interlude featuring Chinese traditions is cut to Bad Boys, for instance – and keeps the focus on the band and their experience. Anderson thought it was “inept and badly crafted”, but his name stayed on it; it is one of just nine features credited to him.
