Hi Luke, I was senior technician at Rhino in 1989 when we did Mossy's album. Hard to believe it was 25 years ago. I remember the Lord-Alge brothers well, also Brendan and many others. I had a thrashed old cassette player in the workshop, and many of the mixes that were done in Studio 2 were 'auditioned' for real world playability on my system! Best - Brett.
