Jake Dollery "The Killing Time"

[Jake Dollery]

This is probably one of my heaviest Rock tracks and one of my oldest.

I wrote the words and music in about 1988 (John Major was stil PM!!!) I recorded iit at least 5 different versions as I was never happy with the final product until this one. Thats because it doesn't have much melody and the intro, verse and chorus is all in E, so I had to be a bit imaginative in the recording process.

This version is mono and was recorded in 1992 on a Yahama MT100 4 track recorder (quarter inch audio cassette tape) a far cry from the multiple tracking that recording digitally offers. There are so many bounces on it!!! A drum track, 2 rythmn guitar tracks, 1 Bass track, a keyboard track, 2 lead guitar tracks and 2 vocal tracks plus the samples mixed in for good measure....

...now you're gonna tell me it wasn't worth it

from the right off any song that starts with a sample from my fave david lynch movie is already onto a winner with me.

brilliant song jason.

Wild At Heart - One of his best - You canb't beat a bit of Johnny Peru

[Oldrottenhead]

yeah he had lovely teeth. now that you are digital are you gonna revisit this one in stereo imho i think it would be well worth it its a really strong song.

[Jake Dollery]

I would only revisit somgs that I wasn't happy with - I might remix this digitally and create a suedo stereo effect on it

Really nice rocker with great guitar vox and fx, enjoyed this a lot well done.

Nice rocker you have there!
In my humble opinion this would benefit from a digital makeover.
Just in the fact that the sound would be stereo and really 'pop'.
Nice one!
