Personnel

The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios between 26 October 1960 and 21 June 1961. It was recorded on entirely analogue equipment in real time, with each track recorded on a one-track-per-day basis with no overdubs or edits on a 2 track recording machine. Rather than having a stereo mix being mixed down into a mono version, both stereo and mono mixes were recorded simultaneously but separately within the same session. Mistakes made during recording necessitated immediate retakes, and for that reason, multiple versions for some tracks exist in EMI's tape vaults.
All of the tracks were recorded in several sessions over an eight-month period, during which singles were also recorded, including "Kon-Tiki", "She Wears Red Feathers", "The Frightened City", "Wonderful Land", "36-24-36", "March of the Shadows", "Peace Pipe", "The Savage", "Blues From an Unfurnished Flat", "Happy Birthday to You", an LP by Cliff Richard.
