Good old 2020 Productions for running with it!

The guitar was done in sections on that track, and was then bounced down from a Tascam reel to reel to the Roland desk. Hence why it has a warm sound to it. I believe I recorded 4/5 individual parts of guitar for that song. Also, notice one of the guitars from 3:21 on-wards. Heavy reverb, with thanks to Jeff Foskett who told us what levels to use for that sound.

Cheers 2020 Productions!

Mr. K wrote: So "Wheelbarrow Song" is still waiting for a studio recording. It's a great song and deserves a wider audience.

I have to agree. I will relay it to the rest.

The song titled "Peep" features Mark on vox/keys and Rich on guitar.

Tune in on the day to see what you think...  

Bookmarked! (No pun intended. )

Cheers John! Here's a outtake photo of the recording. I don't think "2021 Productions UK" will use this on premier.

It was as a fun session and cool to do a LK tune again after many years...

Nice to see Brian peeping in on the proceedings. And I really like those string sounds during the last minute or so.
Please wish your Dad many happy returns from me and congrats on a great track (not that I ever expect less from the Ladykillers). Roll on summer!

Cheers John and my Dad said thank you.

Who remembers Max Shenk from the old cap board? Well, he hosts his own radio station now in Philadelphia, USA, and he featured the demo "Peep" on his recent show with good reviews... 2021 productions have that video lined up once Max's show is released.... I will post here.

It's just you and me these days. (I think DJ kept in touch with him but I'm not sure.) Oh, and a very young Ashley once commented on his lack of hair back at the Capitol MB.

Well done, Max. He always did have the gift of the gab! I'd be most interested to see that vid when the time is right.

The track Stumble originally featured on The Ladykillers compilation album, Free the Ladykillers ! (Listen Listen Listen), back in 2007 featuring original tracks/demos.

After seeing this it made me laugh how you can buy that album still on Amazon... I thought it disappeared forever hard copy...   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Ladykillers-Listen/dp/B002GZ2YNI

Congrats on another superb track (and video), Rich. I'll be linking  it at Hoffman within the hour.

I hope Tim's finding ways to cope with his loss. Pass on my best wishes to him if you feel that's appropriate...
