Anya
"Stranded Suite Part 2" ー 最近なぜかお気に入り、ヘヴィローテーションですAnyahttps://yahoo.jp/box/TJSt19'77Strat+Fender Lace Sensor Gold(Neck&Bridge)&Red Rhodes Velvet Hammer VHS-1R(Middle)+CTS Vintage+Hi-Pass Cap→R.B.Pre V3→AMP→MIC→Mixer/Audio IFOne of the standout tracks was 'Anya', which saw Blackmore using acoustic guitar for the intro. Glover recalled the aggravation he went through as co--producer to get the finished results: "We had written the song but didn't have an intro. One afternoon Jon played an intro and when Ritchie walked in that night he asked, "What's that?" "That's the intro." "Nah,shit." "What now?" I thought. 'Is there an acoustic guitar nearby?' Ritchie asked. The studio belonged to Peter Maffay and there was an acoustic guitar. Ritchie doodled around and I said I liked it and why didn't he go ahead and we'd see what the result would be. He played and played, at least for 40 minutes and no words were exchanged in the control room. He played whatever entered his mind, stopped, thought about it, went on playing and meanwhile the tape kept rolling."The next day in the studio Jon asked me what Ritchie thought of his intro. 'He didn't want to have anything to do with it, but he did some guitar parts and now I have his idea.' For four hours I went through all the things Ritchie had done in those 40 minutes and proposed Jon to work around his intro from the previous day and to fit it in with the guitar parts. That's the story of the 'Anya' intro. which cost me almost a complete day of work. It was cutting and pasting instead of live, but I think it turned out very well."〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜以下、B!よりR.B.：ある日、スタジオでAnyaをプレイ・バックしていた時にイントロが寂しいような気がしたので、何か加えようと閃いた。で、たまたまそこにクラシックギターがあってね。それを使って何かスパニッシュなフレーズを弾いてみようと思った。ロジャーに「20分だけこのギターを弾くから、そこで何か得られればイントロにするし、ダメならたった20分のロスだ。」といって弾き始めた。どんなスタイルでもそうだが、特にスパニッシュ・スタイルのギターはその場の情熱がなくては弾けないんだ。その時、私はとても情熱的になっていたからすぐにやりたかった。さすがにロジャーは私のことをよく理解していて、直ちにその場でマイクをセッティングしてくれた。これが、明日やろうなんてことになったら、きっと私は「スパニッシュ・ギター！？それってなんだっけ？」ととぼけたと思うよ。（笑）結果は良かったんじゃないの？私はまだ聴いてないから何とも言えないけどブルース・ペインは「とても良かった」といっていた。
