The Wikipedia article I linked to is just crazy. Much more in depth than I could quote - 12 foot tape loops for each of the three musicians - can you imagine the record keeping required to locate one note (out of at least 3 per chord) on each tape loop by each musician just to make one chord change? That alone is incredible! Paid off in a big way for them though. Hope the engineer got a healthy bonus!
That's so interesting about how "I'm not in love" was made. Had no idea! Very cool.
Great read! “I’m not in love”, one of my all time favourite tracks, Brad and I focused on it in a Tune Tag…
However tardy, I'll pick up that cue, Nic! Here 'tis, and fresh from out of that pesky paywall!

Great song and the production is impeccable. It's unlike anything we heard before or since!
A hit single which could not be made prior to the 1970s- that layered vocal backing track is stunning.
