Twice as Much was composed of David Skinner (born David Ferguson Skinner, 4 July 1947?) and Andrew Rose (born Andrew Hugh Rose, 12 March 1947, Edgware, Middlesex) and were harmony singers who also wrote much of their own material.[1] They were signed to Immediate Records, which was run by The Rolling Stones manager, Andrew Loog Oldham.[1]

The pair recorded four singles ("Sittin' on a Fence" b/w "Baby I Want You"; "Step Out of Line" / "Simplified"; "True Story" / "You're So Good For Me"; "Crystal Ball" / "Why Can't They All Go And Leave Me Alone") and two albums, Own Up and That's All (featuring Vashti Bunyan) between 1966 and 1968 for Immediate. Most of these recordings were pop in the Peter and Gordon/Chad and Jeremy mold, with light orchestral pop/rock arrangements, that sometimes employed a touch of the baroque.[1]

Their only UK Top 40 success was a cover of the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards composition "Sittin' on a Fence" (1966).[2] The Stones released it a year later.

In 1972, Skinner joined Uncle Dog, a group including vocalist, Carol Grimes. He penned most of the tracks on their album, Old Hat. He was also a member of Clancy. In 1977/8, Skinner toured as the keyboard player with Roxy Music. He also contributed to albums by Phil Manzanera and Bryan Ferry.[3]
