ionisation

It was the Eighties. You likely had to have been there. Recorded, if memory serves, in the basement of Risley Residential College. Multitrack recording was unavailable/unaffordable, so each song was recorded in one take directly to final mix without overdubs. Davey Thomas engineered.

Personnel:

  • James Jay Slawney: guitar, bass, vocals
  • Michael Lang: vocals, bass
  • Jeffrey Thompson: keyboards
  • Jon Foote: keyboards
  • Bill King: drums
