Remarks:
|
This track marks Klaatu's studio
debut. Their first session was held on January 1, 1973 with Terry Brown
producing and Dave Slagter engineering.
The guitar amplifier used on this track was in fact a small portable
radio set that Dee had modified.
John's bass was recorded via a "direct box" without any acoustic
amplification.
Sound effects were created using a monophonic synthesizer (Moog Sonic
V) and "vari-speed" (i.e. manually varying the tape speed while
recording).
During these early sessions the duo had not yet chosen an Artist name,
so initially their master tapes were filed in the studio library under
the name, "John and Dee".
This single was released by the now defunct GRT Records of Canada.
