Album definately was recorded at "Musicland Studios" in
Munich, Germany!
- It also has the inclusion of Paul Fenton on drums (mainly some drum
overdubs)
on several songs. On the "deluxe" (first) album sleeve Fenton
is mentioned, by
re-doing the artwork for the ordinary album sleeves, someone "lost"
his name...
Bill Legend was still the main drummer, instead
of Davey Lutton as you listed.
Davey joined in when Alloy allready been finished/released...
During the final production Bill had already left, so Paul Fenton
was used for
some extra work!
