Drums were recorded at the rehearsal facilities of the Danish punk group Sods in Copenhagen.
To gain access to further layers of sound than the limitation of the orginal Grundig tape recorder tracks, the initial recordings were copied onto a standard cassette deck and then recorded back as a new mono track on the Grundig machine while adding a new instrument. This process, however, could only be repeated once or twice due to the amount of tape noise being produced.
