Raspbernie Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Take a look at these GREAT unpublished photos of Dave, Eric and Wally in the recording studio circa 1972! These outtakes are from a photo session arranged by Phonograph Record magazine, which published a lengthy article on the boys in October of that year. One can only imagine what song they were working on: Let's Pretend? Nobody Knows? If You Change Your Mind? ...sigh... Bernie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Bernie:I must admit when I saw the posting "Raspberries in the Studio"...my jaw dropped with anticipation. I thought you had some recording news. These pics, as usual, are fantastic. Thanks for all the monday photos. BTW....Happy Birthday EC!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been summer, all the guys are in tank tops. Does that narrow it down ? Eric, Do you remember ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 For the closet Columbos out there, Wally was playing his Flying V, Eric was strumming an Ovation Balladeer, and Dave was plucking his trusty Fender Precision bass. Ken Sharp interviewed Wally a few years ago for 20th Century Guitar magazine. As part of the interview Wally listed what guitar he played on each Raspberries tune. Probably just a matter of figuring out what songs on Fresh featured Wally on the V and had an acoustic guitar part, eh? As for Jim's whereabouts, my guess is that the band were just recording bass and guitars that morning, or simply running through some parts for later on that day.

HT from Mo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thank you Bernie for the fantastic photos! Bless you for bringing these back! A rare opportunity for all us to see the band in the studio creating one of the 4 musical masterpieces we've all come to enjoy over the years.

LC Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 There are precious few Raspberries in-studio performance, so these are gems. Hard to believe these shots would've been taken 50 years ago! Not to make us feel old or anything.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
