Mark Goldenberg was a big influence on "Mad Love", was Linda a Cretones fan?

She went to see them at The Roxy & was really knocked out.Linda said in a Goldmine interview Mark Goldenberg walked into my living room one day, he was a friend of Kenny Edwards & he had songs he’d written (Mad Love,Justine & Cost Of Love) & I said “ I’ll take those, those are really good”.I was impressed by the intensity & emotion of Mark’s writing ,especially with a song like Mad Love. I came across a nice little side note earlier on the Forum ,that back in March 1981 Linda had told her friend Peter Bernstein of The Cretones that she wanted to sing at his wedding.But she failed to show up explaining that she was tied up on Broadway with Pirates of Penzance. Instead Linda called her friend Peter Yarrow & they huddled in a New York studio to record romantic versions of The Water Is Wide & Ave Maria which were played during the ceremony in Los Angeles.That showed just what a lovely person Linda is.

Getting back to the reason for this thread Credit for Your No Good in the same Goldmine interview Linda is asked that she was performing YNG live before they went into the studio & the version on the record is quite different.The interviewer said that he had always heard that she didn’t like the breakdown section of the song & thought it was too Beatlesque.Linda replied “No I liked it,it was the person who I was with (Albert Brookes) who didn’t like it & said why is this turning into a Beatles record.I said play it again,that’s great.When we recorded I was usually there for every note that goes down.But in this case we’d worked so long on the song I wanted to go out & eat dinner.When we came back they played the track & I heard that section & AG’s guitar solo & I thought it was great.YNG was a song that I picked as an afterthought.We needed an uptempo song for our show & I had too many ballads so we started playing that in our live shows & this was before I had recorded it.It had a different feel to it live.I wasn’t that invested in that song too much.I take that back,I was invested in all of my songs but that was a song that I didn’t love singing like I loved singing a song like Heart like a Wheel .I was much more interested in singing a song like HLAW but we were tired of playing it the way we’d been playing it.Ed Black came up with that guitar riff & then Kenny jumped on it & then Andrew played all the solos.Peter Asher had a lot to do with it.Peter really ran that arrangement so it was organised & tight & he added a lot of things at the end like little handclaps with the string parts. I was happy with it.I think Peter did a really good job of producing that record but I didn’t think I sang it so well.”
