| Although
credited to Eric Burdon ... 'Bird On The Beach' was actually recorded in France in April
1980 by Eric Burdon's Fire Dept. (the band included Bernd Gärtig, J. J. Kravetz, N. Noya,
B. Engel, Reginald Worthy, Frank Dietz and Jackie Carter). Most of the tracks were
recorded in the making of the "Comeback" movie more than 12 months later by The
Eric Burdon Band in a USA studio in May 1981 (Eric Burdon with Snuffy Walden, Ronnie
Barron, Bobby Martin, Tony Braunagle, and Billy McCubbon) as well as in August 1981 in Los
Angeles as live scenes for the movie "Comeback". Other musicians were also
credited including John Sterling, Steve Goldstein, Luis Cabaza, Tom Vigil and Terry Wilson
(who by then had replaced McCubbon on bass). Tracks were also recorded at Sins Studios in
Berlin in September 1981 (Eric Burdon with Lousiianna Red and Rosa King). In the same
month, the USA band was joined by Rosa King and Nippy Noya at The Metropol Club in Berlin
to record the final act for the movie. |
