Recorded on 2″ 24-track tape at Clouds Hill by Sebastian Muxfeldt, assisted by Schulie Pieper, the albums were mixed in stereo and glorious mono mixes down to 1/4 inch master tapes which were then cart-wheeled straight into Soundgarden Tonstudio next door to be mastered by none other than Chris von Rautenkranz.
