 During the recording, producer Ruud Jacobs was brought in to supervise the project due to the length of time taken to put the tracks down.Balijon claimed Jacobs cut corners and pushed for the strongest tracks to be completed quickly to save production costs, which "unintentionally increased the animosity between Jan and Thijs".In the 63 days they spent recording from April to May 1984, around 30 tracks were completed with several additional musicians.
