Turning Japanese - The Vapors - COVER

Yarns · Oct 1st 2014

Hi All

Thought I'd try another post. Just uploaded the well known Vapors track (the only known Vapors track probably, though used to have the LP many moons ago ...)

Anyway, used a tweaked version of L.BARTA's SOLDANO profile + an Ampeg Bass profile.

Used Garage Band and my Suhr Modern - Root Beer flavor for all guitars - hopefully makes for a more Rockier version

I know I'm not a great singer, but gave it a try anyway ...

Hope you enjoy this early 80s classic ... ROCK ON DUDES!!!

Always dug that tune. You did a great job on it

Great initiative.
I have a few Vapors' CD's (mostly anthologies) plus the original 1st LP 'New Clear Days' on Vinyl.
Great band, great songs!

Nice Stereo Sound! Did you model them?

Thanks for the comments Robbue & Ingolf, it's such a simple catchy song, couldn't resist giving it a shot.
Would be a good gigging song if I ever get to gig again!?

Kulie - no, not modelled myself, just downloaded Soldano profiles by L Barta and eq'd them slightly with straight compression in mix .... Also used EZ Mix (not much knowledge of production myself).

Cheers
