Arthur Russell - Let's Go Swimming - LR1002

[fissionchips303]

"There were incredible scenes of screaming and fights... Arthur was shrieking and tearing his hair out, raging around the studio like a psychotic bat, while Walter was calmly snipping and pasting the tape as if it was macramé. Arthur would say, 'You're ruining my f***ing vision!' And Walter would reply, 'Arthur, Arthur, calm down!'" -- during mix sessions for this song

Just finished watching the documentary on his amazing life, the man really had the force with him! A great mix from the late, great Walter Gibbons. Arthur Russell was truly a talent, involved in so many different kinds of music, he was ahead of the curve.
