    Recorded at Earth Audio Techniques in North Ferrisburg, Vermont in 1980, with additional tracks and several tunes added at Le Studio in Boston a year later.

    "The Barn," as musicians who recorded at Earth Audio Techniques came to know it, was a terrific place to work. The equipment was completely up-to-date, but the cavernous converted cow barn with its huge picture windows offering sweeping views of the Vermont hills and Mt. Philo provided a balance for the adrenaline.

    Le Studio had its own charm, being upstairs from a Dunkin' Donuts on Boylston Street. While trying (with increasing frustration) to overdub back-up voices for the chorus in "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar," Jack and his crew took a coffee break and recruited a few patrons and a counterperson from the Dunkin' Donuts. Theirs wound up being the voices you hear.
