Take a step back in time to the psychedelic era with Eddie Kramer! This fascinating series explores the production of 'Little Wing', one of Jimi Hendrix's most famous songs recorded in 1967.

You'll learn about the microphones and outboard gear used at Olympic Studios in London, and how Eddie and Jimi let their creativity run wild to build a sonic masterpiece. Kramer plays the recordings of each part, comments on the material, and demonstrates how he adds vocal effects. Using echo sends from the console and an Ampex tape machine, Eddie shows you exactly how he crafts an authentic analog slap delay!
