CommentsRecorded at: M.C. Studios, Los Angeles, CA. Mixed at: Rumbo Recorders, Canoga Park, CA (MCA Records) Jeff Lynne appears courtesy of Reprise Records The Wilburys period seems to have infected all involved with a taste for circle songs in the "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More" tradition. "I love that English Beatles sound," Mike says. "'Yer So Bad' was the second song we did for Full Moon Fever. That was such an incredibly inspiring time for us because Jeff knew so much about recording technique and songwriting that we didn't know. We were kind of in a rut and he came in with all these fresh ideas. The night after we did 'Free Fallin'', Tom and Jeff went off and wrote that one and came in the next day and said, 'Let's do another.' We recorded it in a couple of hours. Tom and I were just amazed that you could make records that fast after so many years of slaving over tracks." "Jeff had a huge impact on me, my music, my life," Tom says. "And I think Jeff had a huge impact on Mike as well. We had never met anyone who was such a wizard in the studio. He could pull off anything with ease and it just fascinated us. It was like a college education in making records." The promotional music video was directed by Julien Temple.
