October of 67, _ _ _ round about the 5th I think of October, and we _ just started the Axis album.
There was no beginning in Empto albums, it was just a constant _ recording whenever I had an opportunity. _
This is Bold As Love and we're about take 14, we're almost there, and it's interesting to hear the development of the track. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] Jimmy's guitar is obviously a little rougher, [Bbm] it's not quite formulated there, but [Gbm] the basic idea [Db] is very good. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ And this is by [Fm] no means the final guitar sound, [Db] we've changed it as we [Ab] got closer to the master, [Eb] I've modified the sound [Ebm] of the guitar.
[F] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _
_ _ [Fm] Noel's bass, once again one can hear [Ab] that it's not quite there yet.
We'd learn the tunes in the studio [F] actually, Hendrix would show me the tunes, [E] I'd learn them on the guitar normally.
And we'd suss out the tempo, _ and we'd actually just run through it, [Ab] by which time Chaz had actually recorded it.
[C] One of the [Ebm] innovations that we made on Axis was, [Db] instead of the drums being [Gbm] recorded on one track [Ab] in mono, it's now stereo.
[C] It's now we [Ab] split them up so Mitch has a better shot.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ I must admit from my side I enjoy _ spending time in the studio to see what you can do, and [Ebm] what's possible.
All the ideas [Fm] are just developing, _ _ there's gonna be a [Ab] massive change that's gonna happen when you hear the [Eb] final mix.
_ [Bb] _
We do some very interesting [Fm] stuff. _ _
[Ab] And once it was in the camp then you started [Eb] mucking with it, [Bb] for the various effects and things.
[C] I mean Sgt.
[Ab] Pepper just, that _ _ _ started [Cm] the ball _ _ rolling [Db] really. _ _
[Ab] _ Everyone [Eb] was listening to everyone else's [Fm] _ records and trying to, [Abm] how do they get out of that.
_ _ _ [N] _ _
Right up to this point, _ we were this close on that tape, but what actually happens is, _ when we play the final version, we actually cut the tape _ almost at that spot. _ _ _ _ _
And we said to Jimmy, you know we've got this really nice thing we want to play you. _
Jimmy, come and have a quick listen to this. _ _
My assistant and I had been experimenting with phasing.
So we came up with stereo phasing and we applied it to Axis.
This is what we got to, was this.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _

[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [N] _ _
So as one can imagine, Jimmy just freaking out and hearing the sound for the first time, it was really a revelation for him.
