Just want to say that the studio in Oslo was called Talent Studios and changed name to Rainbow Studios. The engineer was Jan Erik Kongshaug and he is known for his crisp sound. Jan Erik was also very prepared when the band arrived, so when the bands were “soundchecking” or going trough the arrangments, he pushed the record button, and very often thats the take used on the record.
