Gold Star Studios-1965-LA, the Strip, the sound

Post by jamestkirk »


"This could be the night...."


Great vid of the times and the scene-1965


Modern Folk Quartet (MFQ) go rock

Chip Douglas, Cyrus Faryar, Henry Diltz, Jerry Yester

This Could Be the Night:
Produced by Phil Spector, Arranger: Jack Nitzsche
Recorded: Gold star Studios, October,1965

Henry Diltz: ... We went into the studio and cut a song called "This Could Be the Night", a Harry Nilsson tune, and it had the whole Spector "wall of sound". Part of the sound was to have lots of guitars, lots of drums, lots of bass - not just one of everything. So anyway, we recorded this song, and Brian Wilson came down when it was finished. He'd sit in the control booth wearing pajamas, robe, and slippers, listening to the song over and over and over again. We didn't talk much, but we loved having him there, cuz we loved the Beach Boys. Everything seemed to be going real well, except that Phil never put the song out.
