Through The Veil - 1989. ISLAND 422-842 344 REAL LIFE ALABAMA HEY LORD PRAYER WONDER BURY MY HEART HATE TO HATE LOVE IS TELL ME CHIRICAHUA SUN THE VEIL EVERY PART OF ME The Album was recorded in late '88 through to spring '89 at Jam Studios in Finsbury Park, then mixed at Air Studios In Oxford St., we remixed some of it at Gooseberry Studios in Tulse Hill. It was produced by Ron Fair (now head of A & M Records) & Ralph Jezzard (who went on to produce 'EMF' & form 'Grand Theft Audio'. The cover was shot in the mountains of North Wales, some of it in a quarry that was used to film 'Star Wars' & 'Willow', there were fake prop skulls lying around, or maybe forgotten actors! The vinyl included a free 12" of more creative mixes, plus we wanted to offer something extra for the money as the CD was becoming the format of choice, these days it would be up against a DVD. " The cover photo was not the one I chose, the record label slipped it in without telling us when we were on tour, the cover of the cassette is what it should have been which made it to the back cover." The Haida Sun face logo is a North West Coast American Indian symbol, it's also Christian's tattoo which he had done after seeing the American Indian Dance Theatre, this kind of design has featured throughout history in all cultures, but although Christian knew it was setting the band up by using Indian imagery, it felt right, that's all, they could have used anything, but were inspired by the kind of independence & spirit that the Indians represent, in the same way that Rock and Roll & Harley Davidson's can to people. It reached 74 in the UK charts, but sold thousands of copies around the world, you only have to search on Google or Ebay to see how far it reached! " I hope that it gave fans a good time, & perhaps for a while, a soundtrack to their lives, amusingly, I remember Eddie Veddor from 'Pearl Jam' telling me that Stone was constantly playing him the album when he first joined!
