Christ: The Album

Christ - The Album was recorded and mixed at Southern Studios, London, between July 1981 and February 1982

Well Forked - But Not Dead: The live recording was made on a 4 track machine on the 9th June, 1981 at the 100 Club, London by Real Time Music. The voice-over on Roxy is by Mitch from the long-lost Radio Caroline. The Sound of One Hand is an adaption of a tradition Zen story. Heart-throb Of The Mortuary and I Can't Stand It were our first efforts in a studio, a small 4 track in Soho, made in summer 1977. Heart-throb was later played on some pirate radio show, the name of which none of us can remember, and it is from that show that this track has been taken. The lead guitar on Heart-throb and Can't Stand It is played by Steve Herman who was in the band for its first few months. The Bomb tape is an adaptation of a tape produced by Doubleday Multimedia to who we are most grateful. The end of Securicor and beginning of I Can't Stand It are from a cassette recording of a gig we did at the Action Space Drill Hall, London on Nov 16th 1977. The insert tapes, Arlington 73, etc., were made throughout the period that we were recording and mixing the studio album.
