40th Anniversary: To Cut A Long Story Short - Jam Studios - Steve Norman
Wed, November 04, 2020
“I hadn’t heard these mixes for almost 40 years. I’d actually forgotten that we did two 12” mixes of ‘Story’, it was so long ago. Surprisingly, they still sound so familiar; the same minor annoyances are still there, such as the odd volume levels which I felt required tweaking but weren’t done as we ran out of studio time. And my slightly out of tune guitar wouldn’t get past anybody these days, so accustomed are our ears are now to pitch correction software. But the band’s energy is all over it, which is how I remembered it sounding. This re-listening experience brought a smile to my face and, to be honest, made me feel somewhat proud all over again of all we were about to achieve as a band.”
