The recording
The song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in London between November and December 1989. The album was co-produced by Gary Moore and Ian Taylor. The recording focus was on capturing an authentic, raw, yet high-gain blues-rock performance, eschewing the complex rack pre-amps popular in the era in favor of a straightforward Les Paul into JTM45 rig.
