MIKE
HURST |
|||
One
of the great producers of mid 60s British pop music, Mike
Hurst is one of the premier artists on famous U.K. reissue label
Angel Air Records. A label that is releasing a range of interesting
new recordings, yet also specializes in rare and obscure reissues
of classic U.K. pop and rock, Angel Air have no less than six related
Hurst CD reissues and in 2009 they release Producers Archives
Volume 3: 1964-1979. An ace audio engineer / producer
and guitarist, Hurst and Cat Stevens helped shape the
post British invasion pop scene. Stevens, now Yusuf, is remembered
here with a song he and Hurst worked on in 1968 in the studio, called
Twinkie. With his vivid memory, Hurst recalls Twinkie
and 17 other cuts he produced in the detailed liner notes. Cilla
Black, Alan Bown, Murray Head, Shakin Stevens,
Mike DAbo and Hurst recording himself share the spotlight
on Angel Airs latest plundering of the Hurst audio archives.
The first two Cat Stevens albums produced by Mike Hurst on Deram contain
some of the best U.K. '60s pop ever made, but dont forget to
give a listen to some of these lesser known yet equally rewarding
pop productions on AA's Producers Archives series. www.Rockmasters.co.uk
