| Leach's Listings: Safe As Milk |
|
Compiled by Jasper Leach. Jasper acknowledges that this listing contains inacuracies. If you can help with any further info or corrections, please get in touch with Jasper. All songs (unless noted differently)
Note: This is probably one of the most inaccurate lists I've compliled. It has been reported by many band members that studio musicians were brought in by Ry Cooder, but only three are listed. I have no idea who plays harpsichord on "Autumn's Child" and "Call On Me"; I guessed it was Richard Perry. I do know Perry arranged the horns on "I'm Glad". It's very confusing because so many unnamed players perform on this album. |
| 1. Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do |
Recorded at Sunset Studios, Hollywood, CA. Gary Marker: Cooder called me up and said, "You know what they're doing? They're going to RCA!" Now, RCA is what? A four-track studio? I said, "RCA? RCA is like the lamest place in town! What are they doing? I called up Krasnow for an explanation and he said, "Well, Richard Perry is really confused by all those tracks. We took the stuff that we did on 8-track and reduced it to four-track." I said, "Are you kidding me? That beautiful state of the art stuff?" [Grow Fins] |
