African vocal sequences were recorded by Matt Irving ’Somewhere in Africa' in June 1982, using an 8 track mobile tape recorder. These tapes were later synchronized with the master tapes in London using computer code.
Other African sequences were recorded in London and we'd like to think the singers.
"Thank You" section follows.
This album was mixed using Sony and Mitsubishi digital systems and we'd like to thank Simon Renshaw and Barclay James Harvest in this regard.
Recorded at the Workhouse II - Mastersounds (Sweden) - Underhill Studios
