About this deal

Then RCA invested in a new mastering room – they had their own record plant, and were outsourcing their cuts and decided to install their own facility. DB - I made a copy, put it on another tape machine, and when I was watching where the cutter heard was going, and was able to hit “go” on the other tape machine to make it play in the right spot – and it just worked. To avoid exposing themselves too unnecessary criticism, they avoided to include some historical figures such as Jesus and Hitler, both requested by John Lennon. And when I worked at EMI in Australia, there was an engineer there who had worked at Abbey Road at that time, named Richard Lush – I think he was the original assistant engineer on Sgt. Pepper’s… pressings over the years – the list includes the current re-masters (stereo and mono), the original UK yellow/black/silver Parlophone (stereo and mono), the UK “one box” and the “two box” Harry T.

I’d been cutting records for ten years before I joined EMI, and so I came in relatively experienced, but I was amazed that every single day, there was a technician in the studio, making sure everything was working perfectly, noting any odd settings. For this album, George Martin suggested the collaboration with a professional artist to created the cover and so it was. Some clients were very technical and specific and others were musicians, and spoke more on a musical, emotional level. In 2005, the album was placed at number one on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Pepper was a worldwide critical and commercial success, spending a total of 27 weeks at the top of the UK Album Chart.I didn’t know it, but I’d built a reputation - people were listening, saying “Wow, that sounds good. So I left CBS – sadly, as I rather enjoyed working there - and I joined RCA using this fantastic equipment they had purchased, cutting ABBA, Bowie and a number of great acts. Apart from Richard Harvey at CBS, who taught me the ground rules - and did a good job of it - I never actually had a formal education in mastering, as there were no courses in those days.

I have come to realize that, from a sound quality perspective, this may be the most valuable and best sounding of them all. One day, a component salesman I knew stopped by and said “I was talking to a guy who is looking for someone to help in the mastering department of their record plant – would you find that interesting? There was a whole hierarchy of people involved in the day-to-day maintenance and production of the studio.At the time, they had Ampex tape machines, Neumann lathes and Westrex cutters – one was a valve room, and the other was a transistor room. I had albums before that – but this one came along, and it was a combination of everything I had been listening to.

So for five years I was cutting at CBS, with all kinds of fantastic music – ELP, Eagles, the Doobies, product from Europe, from Polydor, Bob Dylan, and all the Columbia classics.

Then one day, a producer wanted to be present when the record was cut, and they told Richard they wanted to make adjustments.
