hence the rather on-the-nose title of that tour, Steel Wheels Within Wheels.

It's still amazing to me, after everyone had predicted that tour and their reunion in general would be an utter failure, that 'Dads R Gonna Rock (And the Kids R Gonna Like It!)' wound up being the biggest single of the year in, what, like eight different countries? Those dudes never lost their touch, imo.

that was the one that they hired the Chemical Dust Brothers to produce right?
― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 26 July 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
wrong. it was another producer, also called the Chemical Dust Brothers. christ
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 26 July 2018 21:03 (five years ago) link
I mean, it's an easy mistake to make. There were, I believe, four or five different people producing music under the moniker Chemical Dust Brothers at that time. They were all producers who worked solo, too, so the plural implied by the name just made it that much more confusing.

this was taken from the original Scottish pressing, where post-war stimulus regulations still required one side of every album to carry an engraving of the Queen.

Yeah, I've been trying to track down a copy for ages. That's also the edition with the octuplefold sleeve that you can reconfigure into an actual little House of the Holy. I guess it makes sense that they got the best version of the album since the entire band is from Scotland.

It's easy to forget that the Zeppelin version of 'Big Log' was just a cover. And that Nirvana's career began in the late '60s.

Thought maybe this might be bumped for the early "Rain Song" version Page posted yesterday. Apparently this was only found again after the most recent reissues:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n1Bxp-YfTs
My original idea for the opening tracks for ‘Houses of the Holy’ was that a short overture would be a rousing instrumental introduction with layered electric guitars that would segue in to ’The Seasons’, later to be titled ‘The Rain Song’. Again there would be a contrasting acoustic guitar instrumental movement with melotron that could lead to the first vocal of the album and the first verse of the song. ‘The Seasons’ was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I’d had for it in its embryonic stage. I’d worked on it over one evening at home. During the routining of the overture now titled ‘The Plumpton and Worcester Races’, the half time section was born and the overture shaped in to the song, ‘The Song Remains The Same’. These rehearsals were done in Puddle Town on the River Piddle in Dorset, UK.The first set of recordings were done at Olympic Studios with George Chkiantz.We then came to record at Stargroves, Sir Mick Jagger’s country home, and, like Headley Grange, with the Rolling Stones recording truck.‘The Song Remains The Same’ was played on a Fender 12 string, the same one used on Becks Bolero, with my trusty Les Paul number 1 on overdubs in a standard turning. The ‘Rain Song’ was an unorthodox tuning on acoustic and electric guitars. On live shows, it became a work-out feature for the double neck.

Record Plant is where The Honeydrippers escaped their previously-radioactive firm and minted "The Rain Remains the Same" and "The Song Song", before creating a supergroup with Richey Edwards and Kurt Cobain.
