COMMENTS
quoted from Chris Stein's music MySpace page - June 28, 2006:
"'MOROCCAN ROCK/PIPES OF PAIN' title is a reference to the only album produced by Brian Jones: "THE PIPES OF PAN AT JAJOUKA" one of my all time favorite recordings... playing on our track is BASHIR ATTAR, well known Moroccan musician and son of one of the Jajouka musicians who played on the Jones record... Bashir went full cycle by playing on the Stones "STEEL WHEELS" (i think that was the one with his track) the percussion is by HOSSAN RAMSEY who we met in London, he did the Lyric translation with Debbie... she's singing in an Egyptian dialect... song was finished in London in '91" |
