Just picked this book up. It’s a fantastic overview of the making of the album, the side projects, and even goes into some really interesting backgrounds on With Sympathy and Twitch. Steven George comments on the early years and the final demos they sent to Arista. Al and Paul were both involved and provide commentary/insight into the making of and unreleased content from the LORAH era,
That reminds me, I need to updated the KB for the Unreleased Songs at some point.
Thanks for the recommendation! Fun to read and learn more about the breakaway from Arista, and then the leap from Wax Trax! to Sire. Stevo’s recollections are great and make far more sense than Al’s version of events. It also appears that Patty J deserves some credit for encouraging Al to venture into a harder, more experimental direction.
