Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street
In January 2011, Lederman broke the news that the famous saxophone solo on Gerry Rafferty's hit song Baker Street, played by Raphael Ravenscroft, was out of tune - according to Ravenscroft himself.
When asked during a live radio interview on BBC London 94.9 by Lederman: "What do you think when you hear now?", Ravenscroft replied: "I'm irritated because it's out of tune; yeah it's flat; by enough of a degree that it irritates me at best" and admitted he was "gutted" when he heard it back. He added he was not able to re-record the take as he was not involved when the song was mixed in London.
