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. Books

 A great book that details how George Martin and the Abbey Road engineers came up with all those great sounds. This should be essential reading for anyone that records music.------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

An extra thanks -- didn't know of a Pink Floyd archive! Despite being my favorite band! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |
