Amazing.. I was a pretty new cameraman and was lucky to be on a camera that day in the studio. They were so organised and knew what they wanted to achieve.. Very rare for bands in those days.
Bumped into Andy the host of the grunt machine a few times over the following years in Sydney. Great memories and good to see some footage has survived.

I vividly remember this. They came into Studio 8 Avalon to do 3 tracks. This was the first recording we did that day. Phil Judd said he wanted to just walk around the studio (my shot) and get to the band when the vocals hit. Other tracks that day were Amy, Under the wheel. Went to their concert that night in the Welly Town hall... extraordinary.

Ah, the perils of miming to playback... 1.09 - drummer doesn't make it to drum kit in time, but has good grace to look embarrassed.
