  • Glyn Johns Sound Man a Life Recording Hits With
    ISBN: 9780399163876 Author: Glyn Johns Sound Man A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, The Faces . Excerpt PREFACE Someone asked me the other day: What exactly does a record producer do? My answer was: “You just have to have an opinion and the ego to express it more convincingly than anyone else.” Every time I start another project I wonder if I am going to get found out. So much of what any of us achieve in life has a massive element of good fortune attached. In my case, you can start with being born in 1942, which tipped me out into the workplace just as things were getting interesting in the music business, along with a whole host of artists who were to change the face of popular music. They were to drag me with them on the crest of a wave through an extraordinary period of change, not only in the music they were writing and performing but in the structure of the industry itself. Every now and then, when the opportunity presented itself, I would try to “express my opinion more convincingly than anyone else,” and there were a few who took notice. I started working as a recording engineer in 1959, just before the demise of the 78. It was the beginning of the vinyl age. Mono was the thing and stereo was only for hi-fi freaks. Bill Haley and His Comets had started the American rock and roll invasion in Britain in the mid-fifties, and it had been rammed home by Elvis, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chuck Berry, to name but a few.

  • Jon Astley When I Was Asked to Remaster the Who Catalogue, I Couldn’T find Any Tommy Masters at All in the MCA (Universal) Vaults
    Resolution 3.2 March 04 3/3/04 9:09 PM Page 44 craft ‘What do you think?’ We said it sounded fantastic so he mixed the whole of the album, I put it on a DVD-A here, we sent it to the label and some other people, got some input, then started all over again! It was getting feedback about placement — was he being too extreme, putting guitars in the back speakers — that sort of thing. Elliot brought the Neal Young 5.1 with him to demonstrate. Pete was encouraged, we said: ‘There are no rules, do what you think sounds good.’ When he first put the 8-track 1-inch up, Pete couldn’t believe how great the bass and drums sounded compared to the result on the LP, so initially he set it out to be a sort of tribute to Keith and John because the playing is just so great. The Who were so late in delivering the original Tommy that Kit Lambert was left in the studio to finish mixing it while they went on the road. It’s Kit’s mix on the vinyl LP, and it was Kit’s mix that Andy Macpherson and I emulated when we remixed it in stereo in 1995 — the reason we did that was because no one could find the masters. This must be the moment for you to reveal to Resolution readers the truth behind the long run- ning rumours of missing Tommy master tapes! Jon Astley When I was asked to remaster the Who catalogue, I couldn’t find any Tommy masters at all in the MCA (Universal) vaults.

  • CHARLIE WATTS 1941 to 2021 the Rhythmic Force Behind the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World
    CHARLIE WATTS 1941 to 2021 The rhythmic force behind the greatest rock and roll band in the world. The Rolling Stones were a force of nature when they were in the studio during their artistic peak in the 60s and 70s. Their albums through the 60s produced masterpieces with Out Of Our Heads (1965 being their first self-penned), Aftermath (1966 which indicated song writing prowess) and culminating in Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed (1968 and 1969 respectively – pure magnificence). Sure, we had several huge selling singles in between. A run of releases from 1965 to 1969 produced Satisfaction, Get Off Of My Cloud, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It, Black, Mother’s Little Helper, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?, Let’s Spend The Night Together, We Love You, In Another Land, She’s A Rainbow, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man and Honky Tonk Women. Their incredible 70s album run continued with Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St., Goats Head Soup, It’s Only Rock n’ Roll, Black and Blue and Some Girls. The glue that provided their success was the rhythm unit of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman. They dictated the back beat and gave the roll to the band’s rock. According to Charlie, the Rolling Stones meant nothing to him – that was Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. They were the artistic front while the sparkles were the founders of the band Brian Jones and Ian Stewart not to mention Nicky Hopkins, Mick Taylor and Ron Wood. There are of course significant other contributors – Andrew Oldham, Jack Nitzsche, Glyn Johns, Dave Hassinger, Jimmy Miller, Bobby Keys, Billy Preston and Andy Johns – and yes, I am sure I have missed important others.
