about

August of 1981 was when I began to take the art of home recording seriously with the purchase of an AKAI GX-4000D reel-to-reel 2 track tape deck. Its main selling feature was that it had "sound on sound" which allowed you to overdub by bouncing recordings from one track to another while adding another audio source. It's a old school method of multi-tracking first pioneered by Les Paul back when he was making his groundbreaking recordings with Mary Ford in the 1950s. It's a primitive methodology and limited as remixing isn't possible once you bounce over, but it opened up the possibilities of being able to become a "one man band" of sorts.

In addition to the tape deck, I also had in my arsenal a Roland SH-1 synthesizer, BOSS DR-55 Doctor Rhythm, cheap Les Paul electric copy and Fender Precision bass copy and a couple of guitar amps. There were a few other odd bits and pieces floating around as well, like an ancient violin and some percussion and eventually, I bought a cheap drum kit from my cousin. With all these, I set about doing my first proper recordings in the unfinished basement of my parent's house, off in a corner enclosed by some curtains and furnished with a ratty old sofa which I'd sleep on some nights in the summer when it was too hot to sleep upstairs. I loved sleeping on that couch because I could put headphones on and record late at night while everyone else was asleep. With the instruments plugged directly into the tape deck, I was quiet as a mouse and no one knew what I was up to.

The recordings collected in this set were done between August and December of 1981 and represent my first serious attempts at recording my own music. They were recorded directly to 1/4" reel-to-reel and then remastered in 2001, 2017 & 2021 for digital media.
