or is it my user error?

It's definitely the forum Tony
 
And I'm waiting for the Blu-Ray to come down just a little more in price on Amazon

I' have it. I downloaded from iTunes. 

It's good. David has a big heart and passion for music. And he is a workaholic in his professions. l Ike the guy. I like some if his music but I have a huge respect on his appreciation for other artist and his work ethic as well as heart for the craft and art. 


The movie shows this. 


I love Paul McCartney too. But the song they recorded on that sound city board is pretty bad. That's the last part of he movie. 

None the less... If Paul wanted me to record a bad song with him...I'd be honored. 

Ps... The Stevie Nicks song isn't the great either. She's had plastic surgery on her face of nose or something. You would have thought the doctor would have pulled the snot out of  her nose while he was at it so she would sing a little better no? 

I recorded my second album with Sue Saad & The Next at Sound City in 1980.  Spent a good deal of time in Studios Aand B working on Neve consoles.  We had guests players including Vini Casanova (KISS), Tom Peterson (KISS), and David Foster.  

Planet Records could not release it when they lost their distribution deal.  That was a great studio.  Tom Petty was there when we were.  Great times a long time ago.

hey Rimshot.
just wondering if you realised the significance of the studio when you were there or was it just another day at the office for you-did you feel the "magic"?

Realized the significance but as time went on, it was like other big studios in L.A. Like The Record Plant and Capital.  

Thanks for sharing your story Jimmy. That must have been a lot of work and a lot of fun.

I watched the movie and was surprised to learn how many of my favorite albums were on the list.

I was also interested when I realized that so many of them had a sonic signature that tied them together.

The sound of those drums defined a sound for me. Realizing there was a specific relationship seemed like kind-of-a-big-deal when I watched the movie.


Are there any leak tapes of Sue Sadd and the Next?

Watching it tonight! :D
