Stuart Grundy, John Tobler, 'The Record Producers' (BBC Books) , 1982
WHEN SIFTING through the potential candidates for a book such as this, it is obviously essential to reflect the present and future, as well as the past. Choosing producers with a long history isn't too difficult, as in most cases the records with which they are associated are at least semi-legendary, and it's relatively simple to discover whether or not their current activities show as much flair and imagination as the productions which made them famous in the first instance.
