Even cooler and more powerful than you'd imagine!............................FAQ & LYRICS (below)Q: Who did the original vocals isolation and remastering? A: I don't know. It has been floating around the web for some time--it's superb. Q: What did you do?A: Edited out 30 seconds of silence in the beginning, added amplification, and very very minor noise reduction. Also made the slideshow :)Q: Did you add reverb or echo effects?A: No. Compare here to the original recording and production -- and its prominent reverb: https://youtu.be/XR8LFNUr3vw?t=28s Q: Did you---or the studio or producers--enhance *vibrato*?A: None of the above. Here's a good live TV performance, with Grace Slick's vibrato (and mostly sans reverb)https://youtu.be/WANNqr-vcx0?t=28sQ: Where was this recorded?A: According to Jefferson Airplane bassist, Jack Casady, “We recorded it out at Sunset and Ivar, in a huge room at RCA where they used to record A Hundred And One Strings. The room was massive, so we basically set up the instrumentation in the middle of this room and played it live onto four-track. It was very simple to record. I just led the song out as a bass part like Bolero, ripping off Ravel. It was all slow and slinky, it gave us the atmosphere we wanted.” (check out this fine article for more background on this song, Grace Slick, and the Jefferson Airplane:http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-10-29/the-story-behind-the-song-white-rabbit-by-jefferson-airplane)Q: People are getting the lyrics wrong - can you post them?A: Sure.One pill makes you largerAnd one pill makes you smallAnd the ones that mother gives youDon't do anything at allGo ask AliceWhen she's ten feet tallAnd if you go chasing rabbitsAnd you know you're going to fallTell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillarHas given you the callCall AliceWhen she was just smallWhen the men on the chessboardGet up and tell you where to goAnd you've just had some kind of mushroomAnd your mind is moving lowGo ask AliceI think she'll knowWhen logic and proportion have fallen sloppy deadAnd the white knight is talking backwardsAnd the red queen's off with her headRemember what the dormouse said:Feed your head.Feed your head.. . . . . . .. .. ... .. . . .. .. . . . . .. ... . . . .. . . .......
