So Early in the Spring

           In some ways this was like a throwback to the early days of recording for Transatlantic – sit in front of a couple of mics and play until there is enough in the can. Most of the old albums didn’t take a lot longer than the sum of the track timings. The big difference was the situation – the vast state-of-the-art studio at Nippon Columbia in Tokyo and the somewhat more formal atmosphere. At the time it was almost customary for visiting players to round off a Japanese tour with an afternoon in the studio and generally the material was what was currently on the set list.
