Making of a Classic: 10cc - I'm Not In Love - The Docmentary
An old friend and recording buddy turned me onto this on his Facebook page. This should be a treasure and a real nostalgic treat... for those of you who were around when it first came out, as well as those who are a little newer on the block: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2WksiotTjw&feature=player_embedded This was when "looping" meant cutting and splicing tape into a physical loop. Dig how they made a sampling keyboard out of a 16-track tape machine and a mixing desk. A rare combination of creativity and talent, from inception to production. (JMO!) Enjoy...

That is fantastic. I was mesmerized by that song when it came out. Here is an even older example of tape loops, this chick is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78br37-EaY8

or ...they could have just used a Mellotron. lol it's nice when you're a big act and the label grants you unlimited studio time. that song did have a very ethereal sound to it. a true masterpiece by early pioneering samplists.

I think they got a lot better quality with the open reel machines they those playback heads in the Mellotron.

I never realized how much that song reminded me of the Mills brothers
