Books About Producers/Engineers?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Books that aren't about the life of a producer. I'm curious about the 
producers and engineers (or someone who could have documented 
everything) and their recording philosophy, how they did certain albums,
 little old tricks they used before the pre-digital days (or 
post-digital) even non-musical things about the personalities it takes 
to make a record, conflicts between people. 

I'm reading about John Lennon's "Rock and Roll" album and wish it had 
more detail about the recording sessions. I just paused May Pang's 
"Loving John" when I encountered this part of the book.. I got this book
 because a handful of you recommended this in the "Best Books on Lennon"
 thread.
