As was generally the tradition at the time, the Zombies recorded the main backing tracks live with all five members present in Studio 3. Hugh Grundy’s Ludwig drum kit was recorded using the famous ‘Glyn Johns technique’, employing three microphones: one for the kick and two overheads, one placed to the side of the kit and another positioned a metre above the snare. Elsewhere, Chris White used a Fender Precision bass and for guitar Paul Atkinson used a combination of Rickenbacker and Vox AC30.
