Based in LA, Fraction was a ragged collection of working-class musicians-the line-up was ringleader Jim Beach-vocals; Don Swanson lead guitar, Curt Swanson drums, Victor Hemme bass, and Robert Meinel rhythm guitar. Beach himself describes those early days: "The guys met through various acquaintances that we had in LA. All of us had been in bands before, but were seeking something with more teeth. We had a small studio in an industrial complex in North Hollywood and started practicing sometimes as early as 4:30 AM. We all had day jobs, so we did what we could." Amazingly the recording sessions for the album were recorded similarly on the fly, as Beach further states: "The Moonblood recording took place at Whitney's Studio in Glendale, CA, early in 1971. On a strict budget, these songs were recorded in less than three hours all of them "one takes." We played, all 5 of us, simultaneously- there were no studio effects, no overdubbing or any additional sound effects added. Basically what you hear is considered 'old school' recording."
