commentary
"I recall my A&R guy at the time taking us all out to dinner just before the beginning of the recording and toasting the ‘miracle’ of the record being made, given my present commercial worth at RCA. We commenced to digging into the process but were continually reminded that, at any point, the rug could be pulled out from under us. I did not cope particularly well, in fact, I have never flirted with out-and-out alcoholism in the manner I did during the making of Wherever You Are... For your pleasure, I have found one last unreleased nugget from that maligned-record, a full-on dance track (I was drunk, remember?)"
