Happy to have helped good friend @leefherrick with the cover art for a song that spans the decades. Lee found an old cassette of him performing with his band in the late 1970s and used that recording as the backing track that underpins this one. He then overlayed new drums, bass guitar, keyboards and vocals, harmonising his voice now with that of his younger self. When he’d finalised the mix the track was mastered at Abbey Road, yes, that Abbey Road.
