Gisteren op de Facebook account van de band, Dave Stewart vertelt: yep we released our Sweet Dreams album 36 years ago today on Jan 4th 1983 !!! We recorded most of the album during 1982 in the eaves of a picture framing factory in Chalk Farm in N. London. It was a very experimental album made on very little equipment as you can see in this pic of me recording at the time.All our gear was second hand and the total cost of all the equipment to make up the studio was under 5,000 which we borrowed from the bank ! We had 1 Soundcraft board mixing desk, 1 Teac 8 track recorder , 1 bell noise reduction system, 1 Klark Technic spring reverb , 1 Roland space echo ( still my favorite) 1 prototype movement MCS drum computer. We used our Roland SH01 synthesizer and we secretly borrowed an Oberheim OBX synth .The only other instrument on the Sweet Dreams Are Made of This track is Annie and I playing milk bottles full of water! Annie laid down the vocal in record time and in fact the single Sweet Dreams is the fastest record we ever made. On the actual album I also love "Love Is A Stranger" "The Walk""This City Never Sleeps" "Jennifer" . in fact I love all the songs we created on this album with the minimal amount of equipment but the maximum amount of creativity , but as they say...Necessity is the mother of Invention.......
