(...) Did you have a mic on the bass amp?

Technical Details
In the spring of 1968, Olympic Sound Studios acquired an Ampex eight-track, which represented a technological revolution at the time. Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer shared the position of sound engineer, with Phill Brown, who went on to have a prestigious career recording with Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Roxy Music, and many others, as assistant engineer. The main mic employed was Neumann U67, although the AKG C12A was used for the bass amp and the Hammond organ, and the AKG D12 for the bass drum and the Hammond. In addition to the Neumann U67, it seems that an AKG D224 and a Shure SM57 were used for Mick's voice. Reverb was provided by an EMT Echo Plate, and Tannoy/Lockwood monitors were used.
