d.b.watson
Vancouver
British Columbia
Tough Times On Planet Earth
Written between around 75 and 87.
recorded between around 86 and 95
Recorded in Queensburrow British Columbia (in a garage home studio)
Photos ( By Malita) on Anasis island British Columbia (the industrial park)
This album was recently remastered at Baynes sound on Denman Island in British Columbia. A rare state of the art "all tube" facility. Many thanks to Allan Treen--- I put the tunes through an all tube chain and then ran it through our TC electronic 6000. It seems to add a "richness" to digital.
