October 2004: 017A + 027 Apache

Notes: The band was not satisfied with the mix of the 1979 LP (Ariola 200.651). Robin Freeman remixed the tracks at Relight Studio, Hilvarenbeek. (With overdubbed drums on track B3 by L. Klaasse). RJS is mentioned as producer of the end mix. Was the different song sequence RJS’s idea?

The 1979 LP was recorded and mixed at Dawnbreaker Studio, San Fernando, USA. With John d’Andrea: prod; Carmine Rubino: eng. Song sequence of the 1979 LP is different:

A1 Rittum Of Your Soul (BB, JP, PvL) 2 Mean Woman (BB, PS) 3 Two Nights (BB) 4 In The Evening (BB, HD) B1 Is It True? (BB, HD) 2 When It's Over (BB) 3 The Frog (HD, BB) 4 Can't Decide (BB)
