about

This album's working title was "Marching With Mickey".

All the songs apart from "All Of My Ladies", "The Old White House" and "Long Vacation" were recorded in Mickey's front room at his flat in Fulham. Just me and him.. 24 hours.. one song after another.. double tracking on Mickey's Revox. Loads of hash and coke to keep us going.You can hear my voice gradually getting more nasal!

His girlfriend was a wonderful German prostitute called Bettina, high class and popular in Mayfair and Park Lane. She helped keep us going by rolling joints and chopping out lines all night (hence the Marching Powder reference). We worked bloody hard on that set and were knackered for days after.
The other songs were done at a small studio in Mayfair that Brian Leeson (manager) arranged and Mickey produced. Coke again, visit from the cops who dug what we were doing and kindly ignored the obvious evidence on the control desk!! All night again. The guitarist was a guy from a band called The Babies. Can't remember his name but he was very proud that they were being sued for a million dollars in the U.S.A.! Brian paid him with a few grams and a Thai Stick or two.

I think it's a pretty moody set and as you know, when things are done in one sitting a lot of magic can happen..
