Remarks:
|
The original 16-track recording
(1974 single version) was transferred to 24-track tape format on March
27, 1975 at Sounds Interchange studios in Toronto, Canada.
All trumpet parts were performed by Bruce Cassidy, a member of Doug
Riley's musical group, Dr. Music.
The most notable difference between this version and the previously
released "single" version occurs in the middle section of the song
where a portion of the lyric is spoken (i.e. whispered) where formerly
the same lyric had been sung on the "single" version.
The tamboura, which had been recorded previously at a local University
campus, was "flown in" wild onto the 24-track tape. Because the
tamboura was in a different key the tape speed had to be adjusted in
order to match the pitch of the other instruments.
