Back in my days with the band, one of my bandmates used to get very frustrated with me about my feelings about recording. He felt we should record as often as possible and I was very reluctant to put our stuff on tape. (It was tape then.) I felt like, unless our work was the best it could be, we shouldn’t put it down. I was fearful about having a record of myself sounding bad in any way.
I was really concerned with my permanent record. I didn’t want anything on it that wasn’t as good as it could be. Sometimes I laugh at how dramatically I’ve turned around on that.
