Di quegli stessi anni di cui ha scritto MacCormick, e di molte esperienze con lui condivise, aveva parecchio da riferire anche Phil Manzanera, e curiosamente lo fa ora, quasi in contemporanea, in alcune parti della sua estesa autobiografia, Revolución to Roxy (Wordzworth Publishing, 2024). Scrive Richard Williams, che conobbe il chitarrista proprio ai tempi di Quiet Sun: "Phil Manzanera has been a friend since I first interviewed him during the days of Quiet Sun, the band of school friends he was in before being recruited by Roxy Music in time to play on their debut album in 1972. So I can’t pretend to be completely objective about Revolución to Roxy, his newly published autobiography. But I can be completely honest in saying that it will prove informative and entertaining to anyone who’s followed his career over the past half-century, even from a distance."
