Godding is listed as a band member on a 1977 album by a band called Mirage who released an album on Compendium Records called Now You See It. Also listed are George Khan(Tenor/Alto/Soprano sax/Flute, Steve Cook (Electric/String basses) and Dave Sheen on drums. It was recorded in Oslo I think as Compendium Records were based there. This album is an excellent but obviously little known album of classic jazz fusion material on which all the band members excel. The track listing is as follow: Side 1 King's Head (Khan) Always Leaving (Khan) Time Less Words (Godding)
Side 2
Elephants' Tales (Khan) Ballade (Khan) Underneath The Arches And Beyond (Godding )
