Fleetwood Mac – Mirage Tour '82 (Live)

According to Rumours producer Ken Caillat, an ECM-50 was used to record guitar on "Dreams" and "Silver Spring". This is stated in his book Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album and this August 2007 Sound on Sound interview, respectively.

I opened up the mics, a Neuman 414, an AKG C-451, panned hard left and right, and my little Sony ECM-50, taped to the front of Lindsey’s fine guitar.

"Take 'Silver Springs' [the B-side of 'Go Your Own Way']. I taped this Sony ECM50 lavalier mic onto Lindsey's Fender Strat, which was kind of a crazy idea because no sound would be coming out of there. However, I noticed, when he would sit around and play in the studio, that I liked the sound of the high frequency that comes off the strings — it's hardly a note, but more of a second-octave, third-octave harmonic thing. So I taped the ECM50 on there and he was actually playing the part through his volume pedal, meaning that when he plucked the string and opened up the pedal you'd hear this 'wah' sound', while preceding that there would be the little glassy clink of the ECM50. Then we ran the pedal sound through the Leslie and had a delay on that, slowing his part down — he was actually going to double that part, but then when he heard the delay he started playing along to it and that changed the whole tempo of the song... You wouldn't have had that in the Pro Tools world, where there's no credibility given to putting some space into the songs. Back then, you'd put echo on there and create space, and you were painting a portrait while you were going."
