Very cool. I (naturally, I guess) didn't know that song. Has it come out subsequently on a rarities comp or something like that? Anyways, nice recording with authentic sound. I seem to remember something about you recording on vintage, analog gear, right?
What's the rest of the album like? Original songs or similar covers of lost classics?
Yeh I was not aware of a release! we cut this in 2011 and released in on 7 inch in 2012. I added the 12-string/Leslie intro & outro to make it sound more like a '60s folk-rock song, since the demo was kind of sparse. It's part of a new cassette-only comp of some of our work ... all original material except the Nilsson song. The only other covers we've done are a few Charles Manson tunes on a previous release.
That's right! I have the original 1966 Ampex 8-track from Sunset Sound, which actually was used for Beach Boys, Monkees tracks, etc. We cut our last album on that, but the Nilsson cover was done on a '70s Teac machine and mixed to an Ampex mono deck.
