about

Originally released on cassette in 1989 "Nervous Recreation' was recorded on a Fostex M80 1/4 inch 8 track machine. The drums, bass, guitars and keyboards were put down at Marek Woznica's flat in Melfort Rd in Thornton Heath - additional guitars and keys were recorded at Ring Mission Control in Selsdon and the vocals were recorded at Bob's parents house in Oakley Rd, Warlingham where the album was also mixed down onto a B77 Revox 1/4 inch 2 track machine.
It's not known how many copies were made from the master (probably 250 in total) but the album got seriously bootlegged and ended up in all sorts of places.

The 2 track masters were baked and transferred to digital in 2007 and then subsequently mastered by Ron Synovitz at Golden Hive Studios in Prague in 2019 with additional tweaks by James Larcombe.
