I somehow had the feeling that we had defiantly made the right move by leaving Gull records.<br \/>\nHaving said all of this good stuff, the cold reality was that we were still very poor people, I did not have a car and had to use the bus or bicycle for transport when I was at home, so emotionally there was some confusion in my mind as to whether all of this was just a dream.

It had a great metal atmosphere I thought, and it was hard to imagine that pop bands would dare to put their foot in the door there. This studio was owned by the mighty Who! I have no doubt that none of the guys were born with silver spoons in their mouths, and had to make it the hard way. Which was great inspiration for us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nThe sessions went well, and all according to plan. Simon impressed us to the extent that we had to find someone to tour with us that could execute Simon\u2019s parts well.
