By this point, everyone pretty much knows that Tom recorded the entire record himself, in his basement, on a Scully 12 track machine that he modified. He built the power soak so that he could record non-Master volume Marshall 1959 amps with the volume knobs cranked, which made for his "unique" sound. He played all the instruments on every track save for one, in which his friend Jim Messina played drums. He was a keyboardist by nature but B. Goudreau taught him to play guitar. And not ironically, he sounded like Fece (although Fece didn't play on the first record). He double tracked Brad Delp's vocals on every song but the second take, he'd speed up the tape machine by 5%, then play it back in normal speed. This made for the "wider", "chorused", signature vocal sound. Tom was really an innovator and the production on that first record, unlike many albums from the 70's and 80's, really stands the test of time as one of the best produced rock albums ever. |

Well, now that you ask ...
You have any extra insights into the infamous "Union" album by Yes? Where Jonathan Elias used session musicians (such as Jimmy Haun) for many of Steve Howe's and Rick Wakeman's parts -- without telling them? (They didn't know until they heard the album that they had been replaced.) At least part of that was recorded in L.A. If you've got any stories of that, or Jonathan Elias in general ... |

I have a hard time listening to later Dio albums (including the third Sabbath album with him as well as Heaven and Hell (band, not album)). His voice really went downhill as he got older.
