I limited myself on purpose, using analog\ngear and the same instruments throughout. I did just two or\nthree takes per part, with no copy and paste or studio tricks.\nEverything you hear was played live. Nothing is programmed or\nsequenced.”","brand":"Believe Recordings","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":50990576763158,"sku":"RMX-61163","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/42daec732ab82a0929a24172fd0b853a.png?v=1769442638","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/smith-nate-live-action-deluxe-edition","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
