notes
All Analog Multi-Tracks. All real vocals-no off-line processing and or pitch correction or any Digital trickery of any kind, or multiple tracking, or cut-ins, or doubling or layering or any of those things - one take "straight" sings to tape-single track straight up in your face take it or leave it style-and for Mix only reverb type devices and or an "effect" if used at all and if reverb then mostly only an old real plate reverb (But we did use a hell of a lot of computer crap in making the graphics, K?!?! Any PROBLEMS with that?).
A portion of the proceeds from this record will be donated to responsible grass-roots charities that help out kids in need of healthcare, escape from abuse, and a decent education.
