 In 1974 the Cats released "The Love in Your Eyes", an album recorded at the Larrabee Sound Studios in Los Angeles by session musicians, with the Cats members only laying down vocals.Cees Veerman said about those sessions, "'Be My Day' topped the charts, which was a great thing, but the rest of that pre-baked stuff should've been chucked into the ocean near Malibu".Their Malibu sojourn did not stop The Cats from using the same team of musicians for the follow-up record "Hard To Be Friends", although this time the vocals were recorded at home.
