The Sicilian Defense album was never released and never will be if I have anything to do with it. I have not heard it since it was finished. I hope the tapes no longer exist.
Immediately after the Floyd experience, I became a pop record producer.
I decided I was going to be the first producer to have a manager. And those songs became the background of the first Project album.
I couldn't have asked for a greater grounding. I have never quite got used to the fact that I was one of those involved in recording a Beatles album.
It was a real shame that the technology wasn't up to the creation that was going on with quad. It just wasn't reaching the consumer in the right way.
