Notes

Recorded and mixed at Total Access, Redondo Beach, CA, October 1983

Dez sang on "What's Goin", and other folks sang on "Turn On". Whoever wrote the song sings it, except for "Somewhere", which Grant wrote words for. "Reoccurring Dreams" is live-to-2 track, no overdubs or funny stuff. Everything on the record is first-take, except for "Something I Learned Today" and "Newest Industry", which started too fast. Spot did the yell on "Standing By The Sea", and we all threw chairs during "Pride". Grant did all the stuff to "Hare Krsna", and Bob did all the stuff on "Tooth Fairy". There were only two out-takes from these sessions, "Dozen Beats Eleven" and "Some Kind Of Fun". The whole thing took about 85 hours, the last 40 hours straight for mixing.
