B-Side the Leeside: Stump - A Fierce Pancake
Stump: Chris Salmon, Mick Lynch, Rob McKahey, Kev Hopper.
In October 1990, U2 arrived at Berlin’s Hansa Studios to begin work on Achtung Baby. The Wall was down, Germany was newly reunified and U2 hoped to summon up some of the Hansa magic – Bowie and Iggy had recorded there in the '70s.
U2 weren’t the first Irish musicians to record in Hansa, though; four years earlier Stump recorded A Fierce Pancake in what was then known as “Hansa by the Wall”.
