Nov 05, 2006 | 3:15 pmI recorded this song at Earmark Studios in Philadelphia along with studio owner Steve Bruno and future Epic exec producer John Doelp.
There was both an 12-inch as well as a 7-inch version. It was a fun track to record and mix and I was really psyched to hear it on the radio while driving from philly to NYC, probaly on 92 wktu or somethign like that. I was disappointed with the mastering that seemed to affect certain Elektra product at that time - the amount of d-essing on the 7-inch is pretty horrendous.
Earmark was a very basic studio by modern times. We had a 3m M-79 tape machine, an MCI JH-16 console, two studer B-67 two-track recorders, two keypex Gain Brain dynamics processors and a spring reverb.
no sampling was available at the time, the only digital device was an eventide harmonizer.

"Love injection" was a big dance hit in 1979. It's very good; and was revived on the 1980's rare groove scene, probably because p-funk man FRED WESLEY was involved in its production.
