Hello,
I just took the CD out of my CD-rack. The track was recorded in Glasgow on July 29, 1987 during a soundcheck. It was produced by Jimmy Iovine and I just see that it was recorded by Scott Litt! (Longtime REM producer). Oh, and Darlene Love contributes backing vocals.
(On a slightly related note)
Last Thursday I could resist myself when I saw the box set Phil Spector Back To Mono. 60 Irresistable tracks produced by Phil Spector, plus what is considered the best Christmas album ever: A Christmas Gift To You (from Phil Spector). It has the original version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), sung by Darlene Love.
I haven't listened to it though as we first have a holiday on December 5. So Christmas season does not start before December 6.
Anyway, great song, great Christmas album, good charity. What more do you want?
C ya!
Marty
