I was determined to use this particular phrase as a track title the first time I heard it. Back when all three of his boys were still young kids, Steve Stapleton used to engage in some marathon roughhousing matches with them; they were free to have at him without holding back, with these three important exceptions.
This track uses some extracts from the 'Chance Meeting Of A Defective Tape Machine And A Migraine' recording, which had yet to be released on its own at the time. 'Migrane' was a kind of remix of Nurse With Wound's original 'Chance Meeting' album that came about accidentally when I was listening to it on my old cassette walkman, and the failing mechanism started playing both sides of the tape at the same time (one of them, of course, in reverse) at a constantly oscillating speed.
Nurse With Wound sources recorded in 1979 and with Colin Potter at ICR Studios in 1998.
irr. sources recorded in Cooloorta, Eire and at the Felton Empire Studio in Felton, CA in 2001.
Original track assembly & mastering at the Felton Empire Studio, Felton, CA in 2001; digital clean-up & remastering at Rock Creek Tributary, Hillsboro, OR in April 2011.
Official download resource for the titillating & inscrutable At Jennie Richie. Well worth investigating for anyone with a pair of ears and one or more lungs. irr. app. (ext.)
