More Shel Talmy speaks

If you look at the front of the BAM magazine where the credits are listed, at
the  very bottom there is the disclaimer about "reproduction in whole or part
without permission of the Publisher is stricly PROHIBITED".  Sorry sharkbait
but I ain't gonna do it.  I will excerpt some parts and I should have
credited the writer who goes by the name of Andy Bartel.
The real reason I excerpted that part of the article is because of Talmys' ins
istence that he re-mix the tapes.  I agree that if he does have the tapes, he
should mix them but I think there might be stronger heads at the Who/MCA camp
that might delay this project indefinetly.  JenniferD hit the nail right on
the head.  Talmy is making a threat without  realizing it.
Gary Gillman asks, >Who is Shel Talmy anyway<
Talmy was born in 1941, in Los Angeles.  Graduated from Fairfax High School,
a year after Herb Alpert and before Phil Spector.  He practically lived at
the Ash Grove, a famous LA folk club. Trained to be a recording engineer.
 Moved to London in 1962.  During the next five years he produced all of the
Kinks work through "Something Else", all of the Who's work through "My
Generation", and the Easybeat's classic, "Friday on my Mind".  I do not have
any more info on Talmy from 67 on.  If someone can contribute, go for it.  He
has recently produced "Nancy Boys'" first album, whose members include
Donovan Leitch and Jason Nesmith.  Yes, that's right, Donovan's son and Mike
Nesmith's son.
I will excerpt one other thing from that BAM interview:
"My problems wer not with the Who, but with Kit Lambert. He was an obnoxious
asshole who resented my being there in the first place, even though he sought
me out in the beginning because I was a hotshot producer.  But he thought I
had too much influence over the band.  Besides, there was the fact that the
band and I were the same age, and he was much older, so he never quite fit
in.   And it's no secret that he was gay, and he was sexually attracted to
them.  So, he always thought he was losing his influence over them.  He went
on to produce them after me, but that was a joke.  He called himself 'the
producer,' but they soon threw his ass out of the studio."
Yes, I reproduced part of this article.  So sue me.
