Before the recording of the second feature, there were changes in the group: firstly, Mark Francis returned to the team; Julian Cusack, on the other hand, left the official staff, and Max Hole took over the production instead of Robert Kirby. Although Julian still attended the sessions as a guest, his violin was much smaller than at St. Radigunds”, and in general, unlike the purely acoustic melancholic first-born, “Old Boot Wine” turned out to be more dynamic and fatal.
