Sure. Joe had been the chief engineer at Cameo Parkway Records [home of Bobby Rydell, Chubby Checker, et al], and then he went and [started] Sigma. What moved into the Cameo Parkway Studio was Regent Sound, which was started by Bob Liftin of Regent Sound in New York. He sent Joel Fein down to Philadelphia to run the studio, and Joel Fein was nice enough to let me hang out there. There was no job, of course, but it was the usual story: I was there for three months with no pay, and then Joel finally convinced Liftin to pay me $50 a week.
