trcanberra Group: Members Posts: 349 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: Jan. 23 2008, 06:47 I seem to recall in the dim dark past seeing a color coded timing chart where Mike had lots of colored parallel lines representing where each instrument came in and went out. I also recall him saying he did so many overdubs he wore through one of the tapes and had to repeat many of them again. Is this from the LP inner sleeve or am I dreaming it all up?  If it does exist - would love a link to a picture of the chart to show my (much more musical than me) daughter. Back to top

And yes, there was a colour coded time sheet with all the instruments listed on it. You can see it in Tony Palmers video "All You Need Is Love" wich most of you will know as the making of Ommadawn. There is also a colour pic of it in Mikes autobiography Changeling. Hope, that helps. Back to top
