28 JUNE • WEDNESDAY
★ Hollywood, California, Paramount Recording Studios
Recording from 13.00 to 21.00.
Pre-recording sessions for "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" and "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice".
Noel: "Did new number, I played 12-string with wah-wah" [possibly an early instrumental version of "The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp"].
Chas Chandler: I had never recorded there myself. I booked three days because I had been told it was a state-of-the-art studio, but it was dire. The place was like a rehearsal room compared to Olympic. Los Angeles was so far behind at that time. [JB]
