Amazing song, amazingly played, and also amazingly well recorded. Could you please list the mics?

[@broombezzums]

Hi Stephen, thanks! That's an unusual request, but here goes: Lead vox: Neumann u87, 2nd Vocal: SE Electronics z5600a (with u47 capsule and Mullard valve), guitar and mandola both have an AKG c414 each and an AKG 451 to add depth. There were 2 room mics - AKG 480b with omni capsules, but there were already so many mics open in the room that I left them muted at mixdown. Hope that helps!

@@broombezzums I think what i love is the 87 on vocals, but also the 414 on guitars, amazing.. I bet they are the old ones? not the new xls type. How often do you gig? Do you ever gig in London?

[@broombezzums]

@@silenciowatford The 87 is indeed fantastic on most vocals. Low male voices are better with a 47 imo. The 414s are XLS and they are excellent allrounders. They don't excite me on vocals, but they'll do a grand job on anything else.

Unfortunately we haven't had any suitable offers in London yet.
