Classic TracksA-ha 'Take On Me' | Classic Tracks Producer: Alan Tarney • Engineer: Gerry Kitchingham
'Take On Me' was a huge hit, but its birth was a difficult one, taking three years, three versions and a pioneering video to finally give A-ha their first chart success. Green Day: 'Basket Case' | Classic Tracks Producers: Green Day, Rob Cavallo • Engineers: Neill King, Jerry Finn
'Do you have the time to listen to me whine?' asked Green Day in the opening lines of their song 'Basket Case'. For 16 million people, the answer was apparently 'yes'... Elvis Costello & The Attractions 'Oliver's Army' | Classic Tracks Producer: Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello • Engineer: Roger Bechirian
A song named for Christmas-cancelling regicide Oliver Cromwell may seem like an unlikely hit, but the infectious ebullience of 'Oliver's Army' provided Elvis Costello with his biggest-selling single... Pet Shop Boys 'It's A Sin' | Classic Tracks Producer: Julian Mendelsohn • Engineers: Julian Mendelsohn, Stephen Hague
Protests against Catholicism have taken many forms, Martin Luther nailing his objections to the cathedral door, but the Pet Shop Boys chose to make theirs in disco... Talking Heads ‘Road To Nowhere’ | Classic Tracks Producer: Talking Heads • Engineer: Eric Thorngren
As the first issue of SOS hit the shops in October 1985, Talking Heads were already climbing towards their highest UK chart position. The song was ‘Road To Nowhere’. Engineer Eric Thorngren tells the story of its recording. The Eagles ‘Hotel California’ | Classic Tracks Producer: Bill Szymczyk
1977's Hotel California saw The Eagles abandon their country origins in favour of full-blown rock & roll, and made them one of the biggest-selling groups in the world. Producer Bill Szymczyk tells SOS how it happened. Crosby, Stills & Nash ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’ | Classic Tracks Producers: David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash • Engineer: Bill Halverson
As the ’60s drew to a close, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash came together to form a new group, the unique sound of which was perfectly demonstrated by their first recording, ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’.
