Though the sessions lasted only four days, there were still a number of problems. The first being that it was recorded in a makeshift rehearsal space and not a studio. "The biggest problem...was how it was recorded," recalls Mansfield, "with Bob getting impatient with the engineering assistants...baffling and checking levels and getting sounds in sync...and the recording crew just having to scramble to get mikes into place and get something on tape, while we were playing the thing the few times we were gonna play it. It really was sort of like Bob Dylan meets Phil Spector in the best way...as if it had been recorded so the instruments sounded full and well-blended."
