Again And Again And Again

Song facts

We were working productively, although the pace was relaxed compared to the strict three-hour blocks of the London studio world. Denny had two fragments of songs that Paul suggested would work well together, so we started recording “Again and Again and Again” with “You Don’t Wanna Be the Little Woman” as the chorus. Denny’s characteristic electro-acoustic folk strum is supported by a slightly R&B groove.

This was the first tune we recorded that was in a straight-ahead song form. The recording ensemble corresponded to the typical onstage band: Paul on bass, Denny on rhythm guitar, Linda on Hammond organ and Steve on drums. I was playing a Strat through an old Fender amp, which sonically helped put me in a Steve Cropper-meets-George Harrison mode.

From Club Sandwich N°16, 1979:

[…] The album continued with Denny’s song “Again and Again and Again”, most of which was put on tape in a couple of days. Virtually all of this song apart from a few vocals, a guitar part and the mixing, was done at “Spirit of Ranachan.” […]

Mark Vigars

Again and Again. Stratocaster again. The track was mainly done ‘live’ but to beef up the solo we played it back through a Roland amp with a ‘chorus’ effect and then overdubbed a harmony.
