Asked about his memories of the album, he said the fact they made it at the famous Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, where the likes of Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Beach Boys and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention had recorded, remained a treasured memory.
“Walking into Capitol Studios was just mind-blowing,” he said.
“There were Frank Sinatra photographs all over the place and all the huge bands that had worked there.”
However, he added that the band’s time there had been brief.
“From what I can remember, we made it really quick,” he said.
“The band had about three basslines, three guitar licks and then the rest.
“Oakie [producer Paul Oakenfold] put on some beats, our Paul [Ryder] put some bass to it, Mark [Day] put guitar in and I wrote the songs just one after the other.
“So I remember doing it really, really quickly.”
