"I was [at the Statues sessions] basically as producer. We recorded several songs, most of which
I felt were good, but 'Statues' stood out from that session. I let them go on the tune (how could I stop them? ;-)) and it was my idea to sync the echo for the ending.... [T]he actual recording was much longer [than the version that appeared on the single].... Amusement was brought in late in the sessions -- it was on a cassette that Terry Katzman had made from a show. The Huskers really liked it and we spent a lot of time (and used almost every trick we could) to make it sound good. I think we did an OK job on that. Terry got co-production credit for his part in the recording... While we didn't scrap the other songs, we all decided it would be cheaper and easier to make a two-song single rather than an EP."
