Re: Lee Holdridge
well, i think it was decided in pre-production - not after they laid the tracks
if they had known that there wasnt going to be any "extras" then i feel Lenny/Gord would have had the band lay down more embellished parts
that's always what has made sense when i've worked anyhow... or maybe the band did so some added bits on extra tracks, but they decided to orchestrate instead
I don't even think of Ed/PeeWee as being a big part of that album but I don't listen.... maybe he is referring to Lee Herschberg, and the mixing process
and by big wig, i guess he means Lenny....
get this, i never read this before as I don't have Gord's Gold LP and LINER NOTES but in them, it helps explain the motivation for re-recording (as well as his being able to capture more royalties also):
"All of the songs in this special package from the old U.A. albums have been re-recorded (he doesn't like his early work)."
i love his early recordings...
