| Remarks: |
On December 2, 1977 the basic
rhythm section (consisting of electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums)
was recorded "live" off the floor at Sounds Interchange studios with
Mike Jones engineering and Terry Brown producing. The drums and bass
guitar tracks recorded on this session were subsequently discarded and
replaced with overdubbed drums and bass re-recorded at a later date.
The original electric guitar track was retained and is present on the
finished track that appears on the "Sir Army Suit" album. To embellish the sound of the electric guitar ("Fender Stratocaster") during the recording of some of the overdubbed tracks, Dee patched the output of the guitar through a (recently acquired) effects pedal device known as an "Electric Mistress". |
