Basic tracks (that's me and George's parts) were recorded in about 33 hours at Capitol Studios
in Hollywood, CA from september 8-11, 1992. Overdubs were done in about 70 hours at Mad Dog in
Venice, CA from september 14-20, 1992. Mixing took about 60 hours at Ocean Way in Hollywood, CA
from september 22-27, 1992. J went back and added some stun guitar on december 20, 1992 at
Messina Sound in New York City and then married the track to the rest of the album at Masterdisk
in New York City the next day. So the whole thing took about 180 hours total - what a bogart!
The most time we ever took!

Mastered at K-Disk.
