It's never been officially discussed, but I wonder if Lindsey was lobbying for TitN to be a double album, too. Although, I'm not a big fan of "Ricky"...I just don't hear how they could've made that song better...it's not very good as is. A shame that "Book Of Miracles" never got to "Juliet" phase. It's pretty good as an instrumental, but it is pretty repetetive without having vocals. "Down Endless Street" sounded the most
finished of all the B-sides (except "You & I, Part 1", which I think was a late scratch out of the final track listing), but it still would've needed a lot of work to make it fit the album.

It probably wasn't. Considering his extensive use of a Fairlight on
Go Insane he probably processed Mick's drums through a Fairlight to get some of those sounds.

And, they weren't the first either...you can go all the way back to the late '40s & the '50s to those Les Paul & Mary Ford records. Les INVENTED the whole multi-track process and there's a whole lot of examples where Lindsey obviously copied Les' recording & overdubbing techniques.
