About this CD
|
"Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun", and true to the W.A.S.P. I am, I chose to do my first album the hard way - straight to digital tape (DAT) - with Bob & me in the same room, sharing mikes - each cut done straight through, making it next to impossible to re-balance or fix errors! However, the studio recording took on the spontaneous presence and intimacy of live performing. We had a wonderful time in the sessions. We hope you like the results.
