I also remember Ken's recollection of Stevie telling him WB gave her 2 weeks studio time for IYD. I think in actuality, that makes more sense. Now, all the other "fluff" may have taken more time.

And I could do all this in less than an 8 hour window, per song. So yeah, taking a year to do an album, is literally retarded.

(However, in their defense, I was only going for "presentable" recordings, not Grammy worthy)

LOL! And, I'm sure with all their top dollar equipment, etc. it still wouldn't take a year. Could someone keep tinkering and tweaking for a year - well, sure.
