POST # 134 Keith Richards on Early Recordings with the Stones

They were applying European techniques to recording, to making music, that don't apply to that system at all. So you did find yourself, for quite a while, head to head with this sort of monolithic idea of British recording engineers. You just learned by trial and error. Trying to transfer it on to tape was a pain for years. I mean, anybody will tell you you're up against this monolithic idea of, like, the correct method of recording. But we're not looking for the correct method, we're looking for the incorrect method: I want to see how much that microphone can take; if a guy is over there and yelling, I want to see whether the voice still carries. It's trial and error, trial and error, and mostly error. - Keith Richards

(Be a fly on the wall! Interesting clip of the Stones cutting Sympathy for the Devil in the 60's and puts to rest who actually played the guitar solo in the song. - Ed)
