Have I nicked this???? It's a library track Steve and I are writing and I can't help feeling I've heard it before.

My Two Little Girls

Demos done in my first studio (a shed so small that if I wanted to use a different guitar I had to go outside, put the first guitar back in its case, bring the new one out to open the case and go back in...)
The gear is simple: Fostex 1/4 inch 8-track tape, Roland R8M drum module, GS6 guitar pre-amp (one of the first attempts at amp modelling) Seck 12-8-2 desk, Quad 303 power amp and Yamaha NS10 monitors. That's why it sounds the way it does, folks! All D.I.'d except acoustic guitar and vocals. 
It's very much of it's time: I was learning my craft as a producer. It has a certain joie-de-vivre though, and the songs are brilliant (as is Charles' singing.) 
Favourite is "Before You Go" which although it was the first one we did and sonically not as good (or at least more bad) than the rest it has a wonderful spirit.
