Question for zmbro: is this length of time uncommon for a recording session? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:52, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Theleekycauldron, I'd say very. The only other album I can think of off the top of my head that was mostly recorded in 24 hours was the Beatles' Please Please Me and even that had exceptions. And nowadays that length of time for recording an album would be implausible. – zmbro(talk) (cont) 13:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
I was going to promote this but I cannot find the hook used or cited in the body. It appears uncited in the intro. Bruxton (talk) 23:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
