In the liner notes, Mr. Coryell states: “Many praises have gone to Eddie Kramer for recording Jimi “back in the day”. I’d like to shower similar kudos on Paul Santa Maria for his great ear in recording a guitar; he has a knack for making a guitar sound strong and fat; Paul turned out to be my Eddie Kramer!”
