Pete Academy Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 One of my favourite ever recordings. Legend has it he was called back to the studio by Marvin, and was totally off his head. Allegedly recorded it in one take lying on his back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the purpose of lying on your back was I have no idea. A pretentious statement of some sort perhaps? Still a great bassist! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was that he couldn't stand or sit for that particular session due to the amount of alcohol/substances consumed prior to being called in. He didn't have a problem standing otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
