Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger, Madison Square Garden, NYC, 1969, by Eddie Kramer

"Jimi called me up one night and said I'm going to see the Stones tonight, do you wanna go? I grabbed my camera bag and met him at the backstage entrance to Madison Square Garden and we went up to the dressing room and hung out with the Stones. This was on the occasion of Jimi’s birthday November 27, 1969."

Two Chained Morons in Love

This one inevitably makes me think of I Want You (1976) and Love in Chains and their consistent continuations and clear spin-offs of each other.

But since I want to talk less about french fries today and more about the guitar chorus of Love in Chains from Paul's solo album (1978) and the intro and vers riff of Unmasked's (1980) Tomorrow I can only add without further ado that these two may not be one hundred percent identical, but identical enough to feel confident in claiming that you can clearly recognize the focus Paul relied on when writing the completely different masterfully light-hearted pop gem Tomorrow.

If you want to get an impression of which song from Psycho Circus (1998) Tomorrow's Vocal Refrain has landed on, you can find out by clicking on this link.

However, if you prefer to read more about food again, I can only recommend the Elder-Psycho Circus-Sandwich.

Love in Chains is highlighted. Tomorrow is not, even though I like it much more:

“Glyn Johns had a bit of an attitude problem”

When I was still in The Yardbirds, our producer Mickie Most would always try to get us to record all these horrible songs. He would say, “Oh, c’mon, just try it. If the song is bad we won’t release it”. And, of course it would always get released [laughs]. During one session, we were recording Ten Little Indians, which was an extremely silly song that featured a truly awful brass arrangement. In fact, the whole track sounded terrible. In a desperate attempt to salvage it, I hit upon an idea. I said, “Look, turn the tape over and employ the echo for the brass on a spare track. Then turn it back over and we’ll get the echo preceding the signal.” The result was very interesting — it made the track sound like it was going backwards.

Later, when we recorded You Shook Me, I told the engineer, Glyn Johns, that I wanted to use backwards echo on the end. He said, “Jimmy, it can’t be done”. I said “Yes, it can. I’ve already done it.” Then he began arguing, so I said, “Look, I’m the producer. I’m going to tell you what to do, and just do it.” So he grudgingly did everything I told him to, and when we were finished he started refusing to push the fader up so I could hear the result. Finally, I had to scream, “Push the bloody fader up!” And low and behold, the effect worked perfectly. When Glyn heard the result, he looked bloody ill! He just couldn’t accept that someone knew something that he didn’t know — especially a musician! The pompous git!

The funny thing is, Glyn did the next Stones album and what was on it? Backwards echo! And I’m sure he took full credit for the effect.

Glyn Johns was the engineer on the first album, and as I mentioned earlier, he had a bit of an attitude problem. I’ll tell you what he did.

He tried to hustle in on a producer’s credit. I said, “No way, I put this band together, I brought them in and directed the whole recording process, I go my own guitar sound — I’ll tell you, you haven’t got a hope in hell”. And then we wend to Eddie Kramer for the second album and Andy Johns after that. I consciously kept changing engineers because I didn’t want people to think that they were responsible for our sound. I wanted people to know it was me.

Andy Johns did that mix with me, and after we finished it, Glyn, Andy’s older brother, walked in. We were really excited and told him, “You’ve got to listen to this”. Glyn listened and just said, “Hmmph, You’ll never be able to cut it. It will never work”. And he walked out. Wrong again Glyn. He must have been seething with envy.
