 Prior to recording, the Velvet Illusions developed their chemistry with extensive rehearsal sessions at group manager George Radford Sr.'s upholstery shop in Yakima, Washington.When the band entered Audio Recording in Seattle to record "Acid Head" and keyboardist Steve Weed's original composition "She Was the Only Girl", they were well-practiced and completed the songs with relative ease.Under Radford Sr.'s instruction, the group shortened the tune's climatic instrumental passage to approach the preferred time limit that radio programmers desired.
