Pendulum (Creedence Clearwater Revival Album) - Background, Recording and Production

Background, Recording and Production

Like most Creedence albums, the songs on Pendulum were rehearsed at "the Factory" (as in Cosmo's Factory) in Berkeley, California and were recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco. Producing the album was John Fogerty. The album took about a month to complete, which was rather long for the group. The reason for this was John Fogerty's insistence on the horn section (which he played by himself), the keyboards, and backing vocals. As usual, the first take of a song was played by all four members with John going in later for the vocal and additional instrument overdubs. The album was remastered and reissued on 180 Gram Vinyl by Analogue Productions in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or production:

    Write while the heat is in you.... The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
