In Case You Miss It...Christmas Gift From ExMixer!
Here's a little gift to the blog! feel free to contact me at. exmixerny
AT gmail DOT COM. In the mid 1980’s - I was working as a staff
engineer at Sigma Sound Studios in New York when I was asked if I would
be available in May for a weekend. It was a demo session and it was for
an up and coming band called “Big fat Love”. When I was told guitarist
from the Clash and B.A.D Mick Jones was producing, I replied with an
enthusiastic "hell yes!." The label on the cassette says May 6th 1987.
That must have been the tape copy date. May 6th was a Wednesday and my
recollection was setting up Friday night the 1st , recording Saturday.
Overdubbing Sunday and then mixing.
Meeting Mick was a thrill,
as a huge Clash fan I was in heaven. The band was 6 members, but there
must have been 15- 20 people crowding into all parts of the studio.
Friends and hangers on of all types, wouldn’t surprise me if the Beastie
Boys were there as well. Honestly when you are building a basic track
for songs, your focus is not on meeting folks and making conversations.
LOL.
Some of the things that stuck out all these years later, Mick
being chill and cool as ever directing the session. At one point he
points at the motion detectors in the corner and asking me if they were
air purifiers? Nah I said, "just the burglar alarm only activated when
we shut the studio down for the night." Mick said he hated any devices
messing with the air, he was convinced they made people ill. Ironic
since he did in fact fall very sick not too long after these recordings
were finished.
To me the session just kept filling with players, I
setup for 4 pieces to record basic tracks and was being asked to add
another player every few hours it seemed. At one point with the studio
full and both sound locks occupied, Mick turned to me and in his dry
British accent asked “where can the wash board player setup?”. I let
out a laugh, thinking funny joke, when lo and behold right behind him a
guy with a washboard appeared!. LOLZ.
Anyways, by late Sunday
afternoon we were ready to mix. My usual setup consisted of a tape
machine for slap echo , 2 reverb plates one short less than 1 second for
drums and such. And a 1.5 to 2 second reverb for vocals. Mixed all 3
songs in one evening. It was straight ahead and Mick and the band left
excited and very happy.
Never heard from anyone again. Ha! Enjoy!

Ultravox - Live In Concert London 1981
Paris Theatre
January 14, 1981
BBC Radio 1 FM Source @320
$25 at 'Zon
One of the bands who changed the look of MTV forever and who personified the New Romantic movement. Prior to this sweeping change, Ultravox was a well-known yet bubbling-under Punk/Post-Punk/Techno band, known primarily for their lead vocalist John Foxx and some pretty sensational production work by German wiz, Conny Plank.
But Foxx left and Ultravox underwent changes and re-emerged as a sort of Art-Rock/New Romantic/keyboard-based band that played musical landscapes – sweeping panoramas of sound topped off by the sonorous vocals of Midge Ure, who had replaced Foxx.
It was also the perfect band to experiment with new ways of making music videos work. Prior to that time, it was a band, a few cutaways, performance, more cutaways – pretty boring. But Australian film director Russell Mulcahy came along, and took their then-latest single, Vienna and turned it into one of the most compelling, visually stunning film classics ever produced. It was the video which changed the way all videos were conceived from then on. The haunting images and the music made it one of the biggest hits of the early 1980s. Putting not only Ultravox on the international stage, but also turned the Music Video industry, from an afterthought and minor promotional tool, to a revolutionary change in the way Pop music was marketed.
So this concert, recorded right around the time of the release of the album, Vienna, gives some indication of the great heights the band would achieve in the coming months. It would be a run that lasted until 1985, when the first of several hiatuses, breakups, reorganizations and reunions would take place – all the way to their latest incarnation, beginning in 2008 and still going.
This is a special concert – it’s part of a new turn of events for the
band, that point where things just started to break and they are just
about to become household names. Pretty exciting, and the band is pumped
up for it. Good show all around, and thanks to the BBC and their ever-present recording trucks, it’s preserved for posterity. ~Gordon Skene

I have some Iron Maiden CDs that I will upload, this time this FM program in Tokyo on May 24, 1981 for "Zodiac" I have ripped it to 24Bit to give it greater depth in the sound and it shows, I think so !! I already published this show in its day but it doesn't have that much quality, that was a flac copy of an exchange many years ago, but this one is a notch above in quality.
Enjoy!!
We appreciate your comments!!
