Does anybody know who's that man ? The Ubik 00:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

"Watch That Man" was very much a Stones-sounding thing, with the vocal used as an instrument rather than as a lead. When it came to mixing the track, to get the sort of power of it, I just put everything up front, which meant losing the vocal. So I did the mix the way I felt. When we delivered the tapes of the album, I heard from MainMan, "Great, but can we get another mix on "Watch That Man" with the vocal more up front so we can hear a bit more of David? So I said, "Fine" and did the mix with David more up front. The problem though is that with the vocal more up front, the other instruments have to drop back. Then, a couple of weeks later, I get a phone call from RCA, and they said "You were right in the first place. We'll go with the original " - Ken Scott (1999) on the mixing of "Watch That Man"
