Personnel involved (so far):
Joe Brown, Joe Ritchie, Pete Gifford, Rick Bennett, Martin Richards, Mitch, Christine Ritchie, Michael Leonard. Most of the recordings have been made at Unit 10, Darlington. Some overdubs and most mixing done by PG at home. Mixing was usually done the day after the session. The list of songs has varied. Some of the tracks mentioned here may not appear on the album.
Session 1 - Unit 10, Darlington 22.1.23
The first session was an impromptu one. It was originally a Happening rehearsal that I was going to record, however Mike May baled out. Rather than waste a rhythm section for an afternoon, JB, JR and PG went through several rehearsal takes of no1 Arguments Yard, Missing All This and UMC.
Session 2 - Unit 10 28.1.23
PG and JB made a start on Edge of Somewhere. JB recorded several drum beats. PG added a rough bass line. The next day, PG looped some of these beats and created a rough mix.
Session 3 - Unit 10 3.2.23
The backing track for no1 Arguments Yard was nailed in this session. PG (guitar), JB (bass) and JR recorded 14 takes (with breakdowns and false starts), with the last take being the best.
Session 4 - Horden 6.2.23
PG added keyboards to Edge of Somewhere.
Session 5 - Unit 10 11.2.23
JB dubbed a new bass line on no1 Arguments Yard and some drums on Edge of Somewhere. PG added an acoustic guitar to no1 Arguments Yard.
