From an article on Jeffrey and Steven McDonald, Red Kross, 1996
J: No! I got sick, like, two weeks before we were due to leave to do that show. I was sick in bed for a month. Luckily, it pushed everything back and gave us more time to prepare and get it together. It was so busy, we produce our own records – we're more involved – so the two months, month and a half that it took to record and mix was non-stop. In the last couple of weeks you're always trying to make up for time that you spent playing pinball. The days get very long. Y'know, it was, like, get it together, rehearse for a few weeks and go out on tour again. Thank god I got ill! Another thing is that Dennis Wilson recorded Pacific Ocean Blue there at Village (recording studio).
S: It's kinda historical in Los Angeles...
J: For easy listening...
S: It's the studio that they renovated for Fleetwood Mac to do Tusk and there's a vocal booth there that's known as the 'Stevie Nicks vocal booth'. There's no real windows but there's a faux window in the vocal booth with a fake California/Malibu sunset!
