Fool’s Kingdom

Fool’s Kingdom formed in 1979 from a band that sprung from our High School Talent Show. They hung around for a few years but in early 1983 They went their separate ways. Well, not Trevor and Theo who continued on to form the first version of Pineapple Doughnut.

All these tracks come from an old cassette tape and have been remastered using the standard plugin in Studio Logic and a bit of reverb has been added.

Ash Wednesday was recorded in the basement of Coogee Bay Road using whatever microphones we had at the time ,an 8 channel analogue mixer Jim (our Keyboard player) made from a kit, and a reel to reel two track tape recorder. The band played the track in one go in stereo then we bounced that onto a cassette while we sang the overdubs.

The other tracks are marked as 4 track but they only survive as stereo mixes. None of us remember what we used the 4 tracks but it would have certainly been one track for vocals. How the other three were used is lost in the mists of time. Perhaps Guitar/Bass, Drums and Keyboard?
