What are the craziest Album recording stories that you know of ?
Two that I know of-
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica , made in the Charles Manson Method.

in my opinion, don instigated all of this. somehow, we allowed him over a period of months - years for me - to slowly 'devolve' us to this senslessness. it ate our souls and ruined our social behaviour for years to come. for years every time someone would 'talk with their hands', I would wince, thinking i was going to get hit.

Godley & Creme - Consequences- They left 10CC which at the time was a very successful band at their peek to do this!

Consequences sounds at first like one of the worst excesses of '70s rock music: a triple, boxed-set concept album. And yet the combination of some of Godley & Creme's most beautiful music, the haunting sound of their guitar 'Gizmo', the vocal talents of Sarah Vaughan and the comedic skills of Peter Cook make a wonderful listening experience.

We were just two guys who'd gone in and (Bleeped) about for fourteen months to create this angel or monster. It was now up to other people to decide what to do with it. It was then that it became a bit frightening. (laughs)
