A truly interesting project! Both of these cuts also appear with different processing on
the 3330,000 Cross Dressers... double CD. The idea of a 78 rpm was proposed by
Dean Blackwood who has a passion for the technology of that era. We decided that this
particular project was crazy enough to work. The songs were carefully processed for authentic
mono fidelity. Apna Desh was recorded from a cassette and played on a $20 Sony
tape recorder. A certain mic was placed nearby and the whole mess was recorded directly to
a reel of tape. Rookoo Bay was a recording I made on my portable Aiwa in our
livingroom. It is actually a practice before the (now legendary) Nightbreak acoustic show in
San Francisco. This tape was re-recorded by playing it through the monitors in the studio and
placing said mic in the mix position and recorded directly on to reel. Viola!
