Nackte Tatsachen machten ihn zum Millionär: Die Römischen Verträge zur Gründung der EU waren kaum geschlossen, da engagierte Paul Raymond bereits Frauen, die zu Musik die Hüllen fallen ließen. Nun ist der britische "Porno-König", wie man ihn auf der Insel nennt, im Alter von 82 Jahren gestorben.

London - Manche sagen, der Sittenverfall habe im Vereinigten Königreich an dem Tag begonnen, an dem Paul Raymond seine "Revuebar" im Londoner Stadtteil Soho eröffnete - und das offizielle Striptease-Verbot geschickt umging. Immerhin war die Bar ein privater Club, der Einlass war an die Mitgliedschaft geknüpft. Das schien die Briten 1958 nicht zu stören - in kurzer Zeit hatten sich 45.000 Gäste registriert. Raymond wurde zum "König von Soho". Genau 50 Jahre später ist er nun im Alter von 82 Jahren gestorben.
Raymond brachte es als Unternehmer im Londoner Nachtleben zu Reichtum: Sein Vermögen wird auf umgerechnet 848 Millionen Euro geschätzt. Er gab mehrere Porno- und Männer-Zeitschriften heraus, darunter "Razzle", "Men's World" und "Mayfair". Besonderer Beliebtheit erfreute sich das Blatt "European Report", in dem Fiona Richmond, Schwimmerin, Model und Affäre von Raymond, freimütig über die Qualitäten der Männer vom "Kontinent" philosophierte.
Raymond wurde wegen seiner publizistischen Tätigkeiten auch als britisches Pendant zum Gründer des "Playboy" in den USA, Hugh Heffner, bezeichnet. Seine Einkünfte nutzte er, um Ende der siebziger Jahre zahlreiche leerstehende Immobilien in Soho zu kaufen.
Geboren wurde der Sohn eines Spediteurs als Geoffrey Anthony Quinn. Im Alter von 15 Jahren verließ er die Schule und versuchte einen Einsteg ins Showgeschäft. Nach einer Tätigkeit als Produzent für ein Variété begann er 1958 mit dem Striptease-Geschäft.

Paul's professional career began in January 1964. He started out as a jazz musician but went on to become best known as a member of legendary British rock band U.F.O . 's classic line-up alongside Phil Mogg , Michael
Schenker , Andy Parker and Pete Way .
At the young age of 17 he was determined to make career in the music business by putting an ad in the music papers and going to all the pubs that had live jazz on. He began sitting in on a few
numbers with the older, more experienced musicians.
"I started really improving that way, by playing with lots of different people.
I met up with Dave Green who, to this day, is still playing jazz and who is possibly one of the top bass players in the country - he continues to play at high-profile jazz venues such as Ronnie Scott's.
Then I got invited to join a band called the Ian Bird Quintet. We ran our own jazz club at the Green Man in Blackheath every Sunday night.
That was with John Heisman on drums and Tony Reeves on bass.
They went on to form a band called Coliseum with the late Gary Moore.
John Heisman also worked with John Mayall and Mick Taylor.
That was when I really started to come on as a jazz player."
His first band was a pop quintette called Plastic Penny , formed in 1967 with
Brian Keith on vocals, Nigel Olson on drums, Mick Graham on guitar and Tony Murray on bass.
They released two albums, 'Two Sides Of A Penny' and 'Currency' and had a top-ten hit with a cover of the 'Box-Tops' song 'Everything I Am'
before splitting up in late 1968 after appearing at the Isle of Wright Festival in August of that year.
Then, after he heard that Christine Perfect was leaving Chicken Shack to marry
John McVie , Paul answered their ad in Melody Maker, and auditioned for her place. Nigel Olson was kind enough to help manhandle the Hammond organ to the audition and
Paul was subsequently offered the job.
After recording the album '100 Ton Chicken' it was decided that the band should take a new direction, but the resulting album 'Accept' was not
successful and the band was dropped by their record company Blue Horizon . Paul left Chicken Shack and both Andy Silvester and Dave Bidwell followed on shortly afterwards
to join him in blues band Savoy Brown . They were filling the gap that was left by former members Dave Peverett,
Tony Stevens and Roger Earl who had deserted guitarist Kim Simmonds to form the band Foghat. His tenor with Savoy Brown lasted from 1971-1976 encompassing 6 albums,
including 'Street Corner Talking' & 'Hellbound Train' .
During this period of relentless tour schedules and various line-up changes the band enjoyed major success in the USA, breaking into the Billboard Top 100 and playing prestigious venues such as
Madison Square Garden.
"I had to draw on my roots in jazz and blues again to make the transition from pop music,
Chicken Shack comprised of Stan Webb on guitar, Andy Silvester on bass and the late Dave Bidwell on drums, who died in 1977. But Paul considered him to be:
"Possibly the best blues drummer around,
" Then, one magical night in Saginaw, Michigan,
during a tour of the States, I met Pete Way!"
"We were playing on the same bill with UFO, who were opening the
show. Nazareth were headlining and Savoy Brown were
somewhere in the middle. Danny Peyronel was playing the keyboards for UFO back
then, and after the show, Pete and I got talking.
He said that they were looking to make a change in the line-up because Danny didn't play guitar
and they needed someone to play rhythm guitar as well
as keyboards to enhance their live
sound, so he asked me if I would be interested in
joining the band."
When U.F.O. returned to England, Paul took part in an official audition to see if he was a good 'fit' with the
other band members and then they went straight to Germany to play some shows with Rainbow .
This particular incarnation of U.F.O. is now referred to as the "Classic" line-up as it encompasses the period of time from 1977-1979 when the band was at the height of its success including the
studio albums 'Lights Out' and 'Obsession' and one of
rock music's most iconic live double albums 'Strangers In The Night' , all produced by the highly acclaimed Ron Nevison .
The band had, by this time relocated to Los Angeles. Paul wrote songs on both 'Lights Out' and 'Obsession', but due to a prior publishing deal, was unable to be credited for the song-writing.
"Then there was 'Strangers In The Night'.
That album kind of cemented our place in the rock hierarchy!
It's still regarded today as one of the best live rock albums of all time
and seems to have endured alongside the likes of
Guitarist Michael Schenker left the band during the mixing of the 'Strangers In The Night' album as he was not happy
with the results:
"Michael thought his guitar sound was very thin and poorly recorded and in retrospective I have to agree with him, but for me, the special thing about U.F.O.
i s the sum of all the parts that make the whole thing work, the synergy between the musicians."
Guitarist Paul Chapman took on the unenviable task of filling Michael Schenker's shoes and the band went to record the album 'No
Place To Run' with legendary producer George Martin at Air Studios in Montserrat .
The album performed well, reaching #11 in the UK charts and #51 in the US Billboard but differences of opinion within the band were causing tensions and when Paul was offered the opportunity to
join Michael Schenker's new band MSG , he decided to make the move.
"I saw it as a wonderful career move."
"I wanted the opportunity to play with Cozy Powell and I adored Michael's playing -
he was at the top of his game at the time, and he also had a great manager - Peter Mensch.
I just thought it was the right time to make a change. Looking back,
I'm not sorry that I did - it was a good couple of years!
We toured with the first album, then recorded a second studio album, the self-titled MSG,
and toured some more, especially in Japan as the band was very popular over there.
The live album 'One Night At Budokan' came out of that."
Paul was awarded two gold discs from EMI Japan in recognition of record sales for the
albums 'MSG' and 'One Night At Budokan' and
a silver disc from EMI UK for sales of 'MSG' .
Following a non music-related altercation with Michael Schenker, Paul found himself 'surplus to requirements' and set out to look for other suitable musical collaborations.
He spent a year working on a project with vocalist Terry Reid, using his own finances to help getting the project off the
ground. But unfortunately there was no interest from any of the record companies.
Coincidentally during that same time frame, Pete Way who had also parted ways with U.F.O. had secured a record deal
with Chrysalis for his solo project, Waysted . He approached Paul to see if he was interested in joining him.
"It was a really tough decision for me to make; whether to keep going with Terry
because at that time he still didn't have a record deal, or go back and play with Pete
again.
Well the gut feeling at the time was that I should go with Pete.
So I joined Waysted in 1983, but to this day I'm not sure if I made the
right decision,
and I still feel pretty bad that I left Terry in the lurch."
Sometime in 1984, after the demise of Waysted, Paul was approached by Phil Mogg to see if he was interested in re-joining U.F.O. as he wanted to put the band back on the road.
It wasn't the original band, Phil and Paul were the only former members, but they recruited ex- The
Damned bass player, Paul Gray , ex- Magnum drummer Jim Simpson and American guitarist 'Atomic Tommy' McLendon.
"Looking back now, I have to say we had very happy times in Japan, I met lots of great people and actually made some good records
too. I got a lot of things off my chest, recorded stuff I hadn't had a chance to record before and be boss and tell other guys
what to play for a change!
In other words I really enjoyed myself!
The albums 'Under The Rising Sun' and 'Raw Material'
