quote [ After falling out with just about everyone he’d ever worked with, Meek set up his own RGM studio above a leather-goods shop at 304 Holloway Road, the main road north out of London. Vocals were recorded in the toilet, string sections stood on the stairs, and it should have been a joke. Instead, two of the best records he ever made appeared almost straight away: Mike Berry’s “Tribute to Buddy Holly,” and John Leyton’s “Johnny Remember Me,” both in ’61. ]
Book excerpt detailing the crass characters of early producer stars. Found by recommendation from the author of my last post.
