Remarks:
|
The original 16-track recording
(1973 single version) was transferred to 24-track tape format on March
27, 1975 at Sounds Interchange studios in Toronto, Canada.
In early April 1975 various overdubs were recorded onto tracks #17
through #24 including additional background vocals, electric guitar,
orchestra chimes and sound effects. The previously recorded Tracks #1
through #16 remain unchanged.
The version that appears on Klaatu's debut album was mixed on
01-Sep-1975 with Steve Vaughn engineering. The track was remixed again
on 12-Dec-1975 by producer Terry Brown but this latter version was not
used.
The orchestra chimes were performed by Vern Dorge, a percussionist with
the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. (Vern also played xylophone on Sir
Bodsworth Rugglesby III.)
Because the fade-out was extended for the album version, additional
bass lines had to be recorded in the ending. The bass guitar used for
this was a Rickenbacker Model 4001. The rest of the track is the Hofner
violin bass from the original 1973 recording. |
