The Debut Sound Camera Record Release:
The A side is a snotty original from Freddy Fortune & Professor Schmiddy called (You're Just A) Waste of My Time. The flipside is a real treat, called Gotta Give It time. It is a Jeff Barry / Jerry Levine tune written and recorded for The Monkees, but for reasons unknown was never issued. The single was recorded with the utmost care for true Ultrasonic High Fidelity on an Ampex 440b four-track through a custom-made Astral Sound Labs 7 channel recording console. Then it was mixed to an Ampex Model 300 mono master recorder running at 15 ips. Microphones used include: Neumann U48&M49, Coles 4038, RCA 74B, Altec 645 and AKG D20. The 45 was mastered at Sound Enterprises, by the late great Ron Murphy. Murphy had made records since the 1950's, for all kinds of big labels including Motown. The 45 was mastered at -8 db to be as loud as an old Motown single. Pressed at Alpha with vintage label stock on good ol' thick bowling ball colored wax, presented in a full color picture sleeve. (Von Bondies trivia: Don Blum plays drums on this 45 while Jason Stollsteimer's older brother Eric, plays lead guitar.)
