Today on Nov 1, we delivered the tracks of our latest album to mixmaster Mike @ Over the Hill Productions by USB. It’s been a Long and Windling Road for sure and we’re relieved and happy to pass on this baby into his gentle, skilled hands (and magic ears).
On this day in 1978, I was producing In Through the Out Door at Polar Studios in Stockholm.
Polar Studios had been set up by Abba's Bjorn and Benny in 1977. They were keen to have an international group record there and I was personally contacted by a representative of the studios who offered three weeks free recording time.
This seemed a sound idea to go there to produce what was to become our eighth studio album - In Through the Out Door. We’d been playing around with some ideas at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, UK but then went into Easy Hire, a rehearsal studio in North London, where most of the material that would surface on the album was routined.
When we arrived in Stockholm, it was well into their winter, there was heavy snow in the streets and very, very cold. Polar was a state of the art studio for its time, but not particularly ambient. It took a couple of days to get used to this. We worked on the first track that was to become Ozone Baby and on this day South Bound Saurez was recorded.
Juices were flowing and the recording process was now fully underway.
Robert adding som flavor to one of the final tracks, looks a lot like it’s gonna be pretty sweet when it’s finished!
