Two RCA 77 DXs for drum overheads, one Sennheiser MD 421 for both rack toms and one for the floor tom, and an AKG C414 on the snare. Two RCA 77 DXs captured the percussion, and two Neumann TLM 170s were used for the horn section with an AKG C24 as an ambient horn mic. Two Neumann U67s were used for the background singers while the organ’s Leslie speaker was miked with three Neumann U87s.
