It may be interesting for you musical historians to review these two releases in this context, I don't know. One dramatic shift occurred in the guitar department: on DSN, the Telecaster Custom that appears on the front cover was my primary "weapon." On "Emotions," it gave way to my newly acquired '58 Burst, which was a totally different animal. That's the only guitar you hear on "Everybody Wants You," as I decided in Munich that the original band tracks weren't quite what I was looking for…so I scrapped them and recorded all new parts.

The Gibson Les Paul "Sunburst" is considered the Stradivarius of electric guitars, and this particular one was ranked among the best. It was subsequently stolen during the sessions for "Enough is Enough," as has been previously noted. It was during the mixing sessions in Munich that I wrote and recorded my track for "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," playing all the instruments other than bass and saxophone.
