Lynch recalls the lineup changes surrounding the record, John Mahan's departure and eventual return, Dee Harrington's time with the band, drummer problems that left Saint arriving at Falcon Studio without a drummer, and engineer Dave Loar bringing in Brian Willis to perform the drum tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there was the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaint had a budget that gave them just two weeks to record nine songs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of those circumstances came an album that would outlive the uncertainty surrounding its creation and become one of the defining releases in the Saint catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLynch's retrospective eventually brings the story forward nearly four decades. As Saint prepared to return to Europe in 2025, another generation of musicians who had grown up as Saint fans were now helping carry this music forward.
