In 1979 Genesis recorded the album Duke with little or no Mellotron.... Damn their eyes!
I've always thought that Heathaze was the poorer for this stripped down approach to the production.
Well, after thinking about it for some time, I've finally got around to doing something about rectifying this grave injustice.
Guys, please have a listen to how I think the track would have sounded, had it appeared on, say A trick of the tail.
For anyone unfamiliar with the original track, I have added Mellotron and bass pedals.
Might have overdone it in places, but, hey, and old guy is allowed the occasional self-indulgence isn't he? I know Genesis purists will hate anyone tampering with perfection...but, watch my face...Does it say Bovvered? .....Am I bovvered?...No! (Apologies to our American cousins, for whom the last bit will mean nothing al all)
