OMG - thanks for this Mr. X !! Another studio story- I'm at the Hit Factory NYC - Al Kooper is in trying to mix a band - it's awful. Al and I hit it off. Hands me a cassette and asks if I can make 5 or 6 dubs at the same time. Cool - I have a side project for one of my hero's - I grab every Cassette deck in the studio and start the transfers. I put on the headphones to verify all is good and next thing - I'm on the floor rolling in laughter - tears, snot and farts ejecting form my crevices.. I look over at AL - he has a grin from ear to ear... I was listening to his legendary tapes of studio chatter he was collecting for ages. Barbra Streisand losing her shit because of bad headphones, Buddy Rich reaming out his band and on and on...amazing stuff. At this session he was mixing St. Regis - never released - the audio is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtGvdDSMAkk. --- Al's comment about working with this band - “Fraternal twins that could teach Liam & Noel a thing or two.” When the session ended, He got his copies and we kept in touch.. later that year around the Holidays I get this in the mail.. I still have this LP - it's one of my prized possessions. https://www.discogs.com/release/10289102-Al-Kooper-The-Third-Annual-Kapusta-Kristmas-Album. limited to 300 copies- friends and family only. Awesome!
