"In 1967 multi-track recording was essentially in its infancy, with 8-track tape recorders still some months away from arriving in Britain. In common with the techniques adopted by The Beatles on their Sergeant Pepper album, Days Of Future Passed was recorded by utilizing two four-track tape machines. Prior to orchestral overdubs being undertaken, the initial four-track tape was mixed down and then transferred to another four-track tape to allow further overdubs to take place. These recordings are initial reductions used as part of the process and serve as a fascinating insight into the ingenuity employed during the creative process."
