Engineered in the Westwood One Mobile truck, either August 6th or 7th, 1985. Mobile recording by Westwood One. Mixed at: Gone Gator One, Los Angeles, CA. With Soul Lips Horns & The Rebeletts. (MCA Records) "This version is quite different from the Byrds' actually," Petty says. "The guitar section is more inspired by 'Eight Miles High.' Roger actually adapted that into his act. I know all of the Byrds pretty well and they're lovely people. They've always been supportive of me, which I find very flattering. They never thought I was ripping them off. All of them have told me, 'If it weren't for you, we probably would have been forgotten.' I remember when we did 'So You Want to be a Rock 'N' Roll Star', Chris Hillman called me up and said, 'I'm so thrilled that you did it, I always thought that if the Byrds could have gotten along better and stuck it out we could have been as big as you guys.' That hit me so strange! Even when I did 'Feel a Whole Lot Better' on Full Moon Fever, Gene Clark called and thanked me so profusely. He was so proud of it. I felt really good that he got some dough and felt remembered. I'm grateful to the Byrds.' | | Appears On | |
