- According to Brinsley Schwarz, the guitarist after which the band was named; "It was a lovely summer so we recorded a track ‘Egypt’ in the garden [in the band's communal home in Northwood, London]. Our neighbours came to the garden fence to see what was going on, our two dogs upped and ran straight through the band, barking [which can be heard round about the 2 min 15 second mark]. A big wasp landed on my left hand a few seconds in, it stayed there most of the take."
