Girls & Galaxys was recorded in 1995, wow, has it really been that long, this 30th anniversary is like travelling with a DeLorean back into the past and then back to the future which is now, anyhow, in the past I used a Fostex A8 track in the studio and various synths, they are now at the Gains Museum. When tracking Linda's vocals I used a Tascam Porta One as she lived a lot of miles away, so I had to use a portable studio as it wasn't very practical to move the whole studio to her, it worked out great. Lead vocals by Linda Nordén It was like a dream come true working with Linda and her great voice. She had the ability to sing exactly what I heard inside my head. That was not an easy task as I had grown up with the great music of ABBA and the excellent Jedi Sound Master Michael B Tretow. With all these harmonies in my head I needed someone else besides me to get it to sound just right. In came Linda and everything fell into place, it really was a dream working with her, so talented. Thank you Linda for your great performance and outstanding harmonies on Girl & Galaxys! Your vocal cords really took a beating when I asked you to sing as Ian Gillan on Deep Purple’s Space Truckin’ but you did it, that was so cool. Space Truckin’ is not included due to legal issues so for now it's in the G&M Song Vault. By the freeway, Galaxys is not a misspelling, it’s intentional.
