I posted about seeing UFO in 1986, and took this pic of Paul. It was really cool to get a chance to see him.
After bouncing around MSG, Waysted, and UFO again, Paul would form the Paul Raymond Project. He was very popular in Japan.
Full albums aren't really available on youtube. I'm honestly not all that familiar with them. Searching Paul Raymond Project on YouTube will yield a number of single tracks.
Paul rejoins UFO in 2004, and remained with them. He passed away of a heart attack following the first leg of their Last Orders tour on April 13, 2019.
Here is Paul's last show just eight days before he passed away:

A couple of you have mentioned during the Listening Party that Paul Raymond really added something to the music. I totally agree. He had a way of lifting whatever he was playing on. He always found the perfect keyboard sounds to accompany the track. He was sneaky valuable to UFO's sound.
