Didn't they produce The Sweet, or was that wassis name from RAk records?
Mark
Chinn and Chapman produced Sweet, Mud, Suzy Quattro, and probably a load of other 70s groups. Paul |

Those are the boys! I suppose you realise that this time last year there was much talk of taking folk down the "glam' route? I know Hughes,for example, took to wearing a spangly leotard and huge platform boots....it was quite the talk of the Queen's Head. Maybe the Darkness will influence the next Fairport offering?  |

You might have something here! Nothing could be as strange as seeing Simon Nicol wearing a Afro wig, playing Matty Groves reggae style, heh? Trouble is The singer from The Sweet died, that only leaves Noddy Holder or Suzie Quatro to guest at Croppers?... Which should we go for? |

There is always Gary Glitter. he "lived" just down the road, used to see him in one of our local gigs. I guess he would be out of the question?  |

Sorry Andy, With a rush of blood, I hear you! Sorry, it was late, too much gin what! Really! You knew the might AP, and have been to Dave Glamour's house to listen to mixes? Engineer, producer and Guitar envy - big time! Quad? Hmmmm... Early equivalent to 5:1 surround. I've got a feeling Pete Townsend developed the quad system at Eel Pie? Never really took off. Quardaphenia did though! Mark

One of the best albums the Who produced, better than Tommy.
Quadraphonic hi-fi never really took off, as you say. I think it was a problem with severeral different competing systems, and a high price tag.

Hi Paul,
I agree, and it's a concept album! Amazing, not a duffer on it? My stand out track would have to be Bell Boy, standing up for the rights of the proletariat!
Paul, is that a Brian May signature Guild I see you with in the pic? Got the AC30 (Valtronix) also heh? MXR Phaser? Echo Plex?...

Bell Boy certainly shows off Keith Moon's vocal talents My favourite has to be Punk and the Godfather. I have the full score, and showed the bass line to my son (who is a bassist) his jaw dropped. I'm afraid it is not the Guild, but the Burns, Guild is out of my price range. Excellent guitar for the price, bought for the range of tones it can produce. I have the ADT60 Valvetronix. Brilliant amplifier, got all the effects you could want on it, let down by a toy pedal to go with it. They've now brought out a better one. Paul |

I was working as a receptionist at Command Studios in Piccadilly when one of the directors there was pushing quadrophonic sound. Lots of people came to listen but I don't think many bought............. Went all quiet it did Jude |

Wow, Jude, you were there at the cutting edge of what is now a market leader. Amazing story. What clients did the studio cater for while you were there? Did Pete Townsend make any appearances?
