Originally posted by Papo:My guess is that they took the tracks from Sun Studios and polished them later and worked with them, added some bits, took others away and produced the final album version.
On Angel of Harlem, drums, guitar and the reed section sound a lot like Sun Studio recordings to me, same for Love Rescue Me (including the vocals and Bass, mistake included), Jesus Christ and some parts of WLCTT, which maybe had the most work done on it elsewhere.
I guess that Bonos vocal on AOH was later replaced/re-recorded.
Of course, I could be total wrong here, but that's what my ears tell me.
"Studio recording for the album took place in a number of locations, including Sun Studios in Memphis Tennessee in November 1987, famous for being one of the big studios where Elvis, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash had recorded over the years. 'Angel Of Harlem', 'Love Rescue Me', and 'When Love Comes To Town' were all recorded there, as well as a cover of 'Jesus Christ' for the 'Folkways' album, and an unreleased version of 'She’s A Mystery To Me'. They also filmed themselves performing 'Trip Through Your Wires'.
