The Pale Figures - Memphis and Chicago - CD
The songs were written and the plans were set, The Pale Figures contacted Sun Studio to book the studio time only to find out that the studio wasn t recording albums at the time. Lindstrom called some friends in Memphis and they pointed him in the direction of Sam Phillips Recording Studio and engineer Roland Janes (formerly of the Jerry Lee Lewis Band). The Pale Figures contacted Janes, sent him some of the preproduction and Roland agreed to take the project. Studio dates were set, Larson flew to Chicago to rehearse the tunes for 2 days and the band met the next weekend in Memphis. The band recorded 11 songs over a three day period, the collection is called the Memphis Sessions. In addition, The Pale Figures thought it would be interesting to contrast the Memphis sound with the Chicago sound. The long lived rivalry between Chicago s Chess Records and Memphis s Sun Studio inspired The Pale Figures to expand the project to include the recording of 7 songs in Chicago at Electrical Audio with Steve Albini.
