Re: Some Girls, from Mix Online:

"The console was an old EMI 1962-era desk with quadrant faders that just had treble and bass on them; very basic 16-track, no outboard, nothing. Mick had done this deal where he got the studio for a pittance to rehearse in, but when we got in there, the sound that was coming through that desk was so good — they had amazing microphones; a collection of wonderful [Neumann] 47s and anything you could imagine — I didn't really want to move, and Keith agreed. We were supposed to move next door to the studio with a giant Neve desk, but we didn't; we stayed in the demo studio, and that's where we remained pretty much for the next two years.”
