| Remarks: |
The basic bed tracks for this
recording consisted of an acoustic guitar and a "Korg" synthesizer
(which was programmed to simulate an electronic drum kit). Real drums
were overdubbed onto the multi-track tape during a subsequent recording
session. The "Wild" guitar referred to in Track #11 on the accompanying Multi-Track Info sheet was a Fender "Squire" bass guitar which was recorded with the tape deck running at half-normal speed. With the exception of the overdubbed drum kit, all instrumentation on this track was performed by Dee Long. |
