Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
Pictures existing of Alice from the Dada era always seemed to me like the Loch Ness monster's existence probability... say, does that mean that Nessie also might.... Too bad the two pictures are not of good quality, and too bad also there's not more of them - that we know of, at least, for the moment.... but yes, good surprise indeed !! Thanks Gunner !

Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
I love the Dada album. It's interesting but you could make the argument that album's reputation has grown more positive in recent years than any Alice album. It wasn't a big seller in its day, but I often read and hear people talking about how it is now one of their favorite Alice albums. I feel the same way.
Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
I also like it very much

Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
Good find. Here is some info from the owners of that studio on the "DaDa" page on this site.
""I was a co-owner, along with Dee Long (of the band Klaatu) of ESP Studio in Buttonville. Alice was with us for over a month in the early 80's and he and I spent many hours together hoping Bob would stay busy in the studio rather than come out to the front of the old barn and tear Alice's head off for not having a lyric ready, that Bob liked. Many pages of very cool words were crumpled up and thrown in the bin..."
"It was an insane time with many many hours of grueling programming on the Fairlight CMI, that as it turned out, when the album was delivered to WB, they were not expecting them to record an album. They thought that Bob and Alice would just take the budget and that would contractually conclude the years of recording Alice did for the 'Formerly Warmer Bros.'"
"Alice and Bob and Dick were our first real clients in ESP Studio. They gave us credibility in the Toronto music business as well as teaching us all a million lessons in music, recording and especially Alice; life. I haven't seen him since 1981 or so. When I lived in England I tried to call him a number of times but never got through. In my career and in Dee's we never forget the role the 3 mad superstars played in our ever evolving musical lives!"

Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
Really interesting photos and quite a cool looking studio actually. Just goes to show that sometimes a plush million dollar studio isn't the way to go.
Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
I doubt Alice had the budget at the time. I don't remember any publlcty for the album at all. Warners had obviously given up.
Re: Where DaDa was recorded.
Re the budget Pitkin I'm confident you are right..I always imagined rock stars, for a few years after international stardom, would have a stash of cash to dip into..of course they may decide not too, or it may be tied up.. I remember some comments that Alice wasnt that well off in early 80s..certainly Warners had no expectation and I don't remember any PR either..did well to come back even if he had to go a bit more mainstream for a while..not of course that dada was mainstream..
