Producers

[moses]

Has it ever been documented as to why Eldritch chose the particular producers he has worked with?

I think John Ashton (of the Psychedelic Furs) was a mutual admiration thing.

I guess that Dave Allen my have have been influenced by the record co wanting some security that the first album meet their own criteria!

Guess Jim Steinman was chosen for his love of big sound, and on Vision Thing, to spend as much of EastWest's money as possible.

Guess Jim Steinman was chosen for his love of big sound,

Other than Bonnie Tyler had he produced anyone else of note?

Considering he is mostly known for his work with Meat Loaf I guess that's worth mentioning (even though I despise Meat Loaf).

Seems he produced at least one Barbra Streisand album as well.

The man did say "of note".

Although Meatloaf is fabulously cheesy and therefore worthy of attention and respect.

Well, as Bonnie Tyler apparently was noteworthy...

Indeed. Meat Loaf takes Rock-n-Roll cliché and turns it all up to eleven.

Sister's frontman Andrew Eldridge had this to say about Jim:

"He's one of the few people in this business who can really hold their own on Eldridge Boulevard"

If Eldridge says hes good he must be:)

But Steinman didn't produce 'Bat Out Of Hell', so why didn't he ask Tod?

[Rise891]

I was quoting the article at an attempt to be cheeky, guess I should have clarified:)

Hugh Jones was probably more of an obvious choice having previously produced The Bunnymen & Clock DVA among many others.
I was shown a picture of Hugh Jones on the sleeve of Status Quo's 'On The Level' lp which he engineered - nice connection

[James Blast]

you dropped a 'd' don't ever do that in ref. to a Wizard, a True Star and he wouldn't ask him, because TR has a very signature production style that is well at odds with The Raspberry Reich

All you ever wanted to know about Steinman.

Further evidence for Warner executive's ability to judge ...

To make up for his poor academic results, he wrote and performed a musical called "The Dream engine", about a conspiracy by the government to control the nation’s youth by drugging them and controlling their emotions. Present in the audience at the performance was theater legend Joseph Papp, who was so exited that he bought the rights to it during intermission. Also record producer Paul Rothchild was so impressed that he wanted to produce the cast-album. He arranged an audition for the heads of Warner records in a big airline hangar in Burbank. Jim:

"I don’t think they realized that it was only gonna be me, two other people from the school and a piano, just like a theatrical audition".

The presentation included lyrics such as "How do you bury the scull of you country" and "You got to love me with the sun in your eyes until the day that you go blind". The Warner executives were not amused. One guy got up and said:

"We don’t need people like you in the world".

Also, don't forget, Billie Hughes, who hepled produce Under the Gun, who passed away in 1998, he also produced some fine bands, and some erm, bands........ all i could find was this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Hughes

So some it may not be true/ accurate. but, once again, the idea is someone who makes a big sound, or, just to annoy the record company.

Then there was Ian Stanley, who was in tears for fears, (electro sound anyone?) but mostly, he was an A&R guy at EastWest. He helped re-hash temple and alice.
