Cockney
Rebel recorded The Psychomodo in February and March 1974 at Morgan
Studios, Nova Sound Studios and Air Studios in London. It was mastered
at Abbey Road Studios. The album saw Harley receive his first production
credit, as he produced the album alongside producer Alan Parsons. In
similarity to "Sebastian" and "Death Trip" from The Human Menagerie, a
large symphony orchestra and choir was used on "Tumbling Down", with
orchestral arrangements conducted by Andrew Powell.
In 2012, Harley
recalled of his experience recording the album, "The Psychomodo was a
record whose time we laughed through. Alan Parsons came in as
co-producer and his own willingness to accept many offbeat ideas made
life easy enough. More strings and horns, and again we had Andrew
Powell, with his brilliant classical-rock thinking, to orchestrate."
In
a 1974 interview with Music Scene, violinist Jean-Paul Crocker
expressed his opinion that The Psychomodo was a much stronger album than
The Human Menagerie. He commented, "I think it's more of a development
than could ever have been expected. It's a completely different album
and the basic difference is in the way we're playing on it. We wanted
the first album to be heavier than it was, but it turned out quite weak,
and we sounded like a bleedin' folk group most of the time."
