RC: I wanted to hear the curious narrative of Lime Street Blues unfolding at a gentler pace than the original, and this version was born when a very playable guitar was left in my house a while (thanks, Greg). The rest of the arrangement came to mind during the flight home from the Palers' Band gigs in sunny California (where they do know the way to San José!).Having laid down all my instrumental parts – audio, not MIDI – I fancied sampling BJ's kick drum to supplement my keyboard percussion sounds: imagine my surprise on finding that the tempo of the track precisely matched his intro to the Procol B-side, Backgammon. I took this as a good omen, and incorporated his entire kit, humbly and thankfully. There are ghosts of other Procol tunes in here too. It struck me that the whole piece would suit Fran very well, bringing out a different side of her singing after the sultry Milk of Human Kindness. We recorded all her vocal parts at Honeysuckle Cottage in Norfolk (see illustration) and did all the rest in Bristol, the other end of the country. Thanks to Peter for another fine trumpet break. |
