Terraplane were a 1980s pop rock band from London, England. Based around five musicians, they released two albums before disbanding in 1988. The band featured three musicians who would go on to form the hard rock act, Thunder. 　　  　　Singer Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley and drummer Harry James and bassist Nick Linden were the original recording line-up. After releasing a single on the independent 'City' label, they soon signed to Epic. With the much-delayed debut album almost completely recorded, they recruited second guitarist Rudi Rivière in time for him to appear on just one track on that release. That first album, Black and White (originally titled Talking To God On The Great White Telephone) and released by Epic Records in January 1986 was critically well received, but by 1987 their record label was exerting pressure on the band to follow up with another album of a soulful direction, with the resulting album Moving Target alienating the band's fan base.[citation needed] 　　  　　Morley, Bowes and James would regroup in 1989 to form Thunder; all three remain in that band as of Christmas 2012. Thunder supported Journey and Whitesnake in an arena tour of the UK in May 2013
