“[The Dudes album] was done at Trident in London. David produced it - Ronno did the arrangement on “Sea Diver” for £20. And it was on a cigarette packet - legendary stuff! Us chaps in the band listened and learned. In retrospect it was a much heavier album than the one you hear. David's taste running a little lighter than ours - and as the original tape has “disappeared,” Buff [Dale Griffin] cannot go back and remix.”
