The Computer Audiophile Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This is pure gold @JoshM. You weaved in questions that nobody else would've and made them very relevant for the AS audience and Ken. Stellar work. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Every one of these albums are part of my life's soundtrack growing up, yet my interview with Ken would have lasted five minutes (think Paul being interviewed by Chris Farley ) not knowing the kinds of things you asked.

firedog Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Great stuff. I just put his book on my Kindle. And BTW, the Norman Sheffield book about Trident Studios is really a good read, especially for anyone interested in music of the late 60's and 70's - and Queen.

jcbenten Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Great writeup! I just killed my lunch hour reading about Aladdin Sane! Mr. Scott worked on some seminal albums; most of which I own! I was never into jazz (other than Miles) but may have to check out Birds of Fire now.

Popular Post Josh Mound Posted August 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thank you for the kind words, everyone. I have a few more interviews already recorded, including with mastering great Tim Young, known for his long association with The Clash and Van Morrison, among others. We ended up talking on three separate occasions, so I just need to edit it all down. I also just lined up an interview with excellent Andy Zax, archivist behind the recent Woodstock box and many amazing reissues, including personal favorite Judee Sill.

PYP Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Now that I'm thoroughly enjoying the autobiography, I wanted to thank you for the recommendation as well as this wonderful interview. Your knowledge of the subject matter allows a natural flow and deep dive into the events. Very glad there will be other interviews!
