Soundtracks* & Head* – Daga Daga Daga

The original sessions were recorded over two sessions in 1981, at WSRS studio in Leamington Spa onto 8-track tape. These multi-track tapes disappeared for many years, and were only rediscovered a few years ago. Old magnetic tapes tend to deteriorate, so Jowe had them carefully baked in a laboratory, which stabilised the coating on the tape surface so they could be copied and digitised. The master tape of the single was never found, so Jowe’s friend Rico Conning recently remixed it, and the result sounds fine, so he deserves much credit. Jowe completed the rest of the pieces last year, and now, after over 40 years, the resulting album can finally be enjoyed.
