“Then came another phone call, asking me to record the 1979 Wings tour.” One consequence is that you don’t mention fan heaters in Mr. Klein’s presence: “It was EMI’s first 24-track mobile recording and I was assured it would be OK to warm up the hired van with a fan heater since the cold machines were affecting the tape. Then there was a power cut onstage at Edinburgh and I got the blame!”
Eddie Klein, in Club Sandwich N°40, Spring 1986
