I just pulled it out and gave it a listen for the first time in a couple decades. It's pretty great.
I guess what I should have said is that most engineers, in typical live rooms, will get mud trying to minimally mic rock. And the track record *is* a very pared-down ensemble; mostly bass, reduced drum kit, and synthesizer. (Is there any snare or hat?) I don't think I've heard anyone try to do a minimalist mic setup on a typical rock band, i.e. two EGTs, 1 bass, drums, 2+ vocals, keyboard.
But the drum sound on that record is really good.
Love the pic, BTW. A couple years ago at the AES, a nephew (I think) presented pics and home movies of the early Mercury days, including their location recording truck.
