Track 0088: BLACK QUEEN (Hodgson/Blackwell) 4:15 (ADAMANTA CHUBB) (18th January 1976)
Musicians: John Hodgson – lead vocals, percussion, effects, Dimmer Blackwell – guitars, percussion, effects, Alan Cornforth – drums, percussion, effects, ring modulator, Jackie Bradley – backing vocals, percussion, effects, tambourine
Recorded: The Barn, Norton (room 1) 2 x reel-to-reel tape recorders (7 ½ ips) + Heathkit mixer (produced by Alan Cornforth)
A second attempt at this rocker, in glorious stereo. One oddity is the presence of former vocalist Jackie Bradley, who must have called into the barn and was persuaded to add backing vocals on the chorus and tambourine later in the song. I had to make an edit near the start as all copies in the archive had the same wobbly bit. There was a lot of drop out during the song and it switches from stereo to mono occasionally to minimise this.
