Removed non-notable section

[edit]

I removed this because it did strike me as notable or unusual... it sounds like the way hundreds of thousands of bands operate in the studio. But here is the text if anyone thinks should be reinstated.

Engineer Aldo Bocca recalled the sessions for the song as being typical for the album, explaining, "Nick might have an idea, so Billy would pick his guitar up and Dave would join in, and they'd all huddle around the drum kit and see what would we do with the drum part. They'd flesh out the parts of the song and try it. We'd put it on tape so everyone could come into the control room and listen. Then it would be, 'That's not bad. Let's just change this bit or that bit.' And they might go back out to try again, or maybe take a pub break, then come back and see if it's working."[1] Though Bocca could not recall what reverb effect he used on the vocals, the studio had an EMT 150 plate at the time.[1] 180.219.25.133 (talk) 11:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just added it back in. Rockpile were known for being a bit more off the cuff and unproduced (particularly Lowe, who was nicknamed "the Basher" for his expeditious recording style), so I figured that the somewhat loose form of arrangement was notable. I'm sure Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles or Pink Floyd recorded in a much more deliberate and pre-arranged way. The reverbs on the vocal is also specific to these sessions and not general.
