Recording History
Most of the sessions took place at Headley Grange, Hampshire, after early work at Island Studios in London, with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. The album was produced by Jimmy Page and engineered by Andy Johns, with overdubs added at Island Studios in February 1971. Mixing occurred at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles in February 1971, before final remixing later that year. The project is also noted for its untitled presentation on the sleeve and the band’s informal, location-driven approach.
