Songs From Before utilises piano, cello, violin & viola, with Max playing piano, mixing & producing. Recorded at EASTCOTE STUDIOS on 16 track 2 inch analogue tape via the old MCI desk (a forerunner of the 24track format that became the standard in the 70s & 80s), known as "the BOB MARLEY desk" because of his love of it, Max expands this record is all about bass, so it is perfect.
