Question

Помогите пожалуйста!!((

Read another extract from Jodie Merton's autobiography. Underline the correct form: gerund or infinitive.

In late 1967 I got to make my first album. I remember being/to be in that little studio like it was
yesterday! Yes, I was trying doing/to do something a bit different, but I certainly didn't mean
making/to make an album that became a symbol of the times. I didn't know I could! Recording studios
were still quite basic then, and most albums were recorded very quickly. On the Road was made in just
five days. If a track was OK, you didn't stop making/to make it perfect. You went on recording/to record
until you had enough songs for an album. Then if there was time, you could go back and improve things.
That usually meant recording/to record whole songs again. For the first version of "Make My Morning",
I tried playing/to play it on an electric guitar. I liked it at the time, but later it just didn't sound right.
Luckily, there was time to record it again with an acoustic guitar, and it went on becoming/to become
one of my biggest hits. There were some lucky accidents too. For "All the Flowers in the World", we had
forgotten booking/to book the backing singers! There was a gospel group in the next studio, and they
agreed to do it instead. That makes it sound amazing, and it is many people's favorite track on the
album. The success of On the Road meant I could stop making/to make albums quickly and cheaply,
but maybe that wasn't always an advantage. I think On the Road's fresh, natural sound is part of what
made it such a popular album.
