Stacker Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I have just randomly pulled out half a dozen LPs from the 70s but no PPC !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Just about every UK album released in the 70s seemed to be either a Porky Prime Cut or a Bilbo Bopper. The only music I had ever committed to vinyl is a PPC - apparently the lyrics to our songs caused much hilarity in the cutting room!

daz Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah I always used to look on the run out grooves to see if it was a Porky prime cut and see if some other esoteric message had been scratched in. There is a youtube video of him somewhere.

BluRay Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Always wondered what that meant! Immediately remembered it from lots of my records when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 During my 15 minutes of fame (more like 30 bleedin’ seconds…) I was lucky enough to have an album and single mastered by the esteemed Mr Peckham. I even got to see him working on them. He graciously answered a million geeky fanboy questions whilst trying to make my weedy little indietune into something that wouldn’t sound too offensive on the radio. I asked him who his most difficult client was and without missing a beat, he answered ‘Rory Gallagher’. Apparently, Rory was an absolute sweetheart but kept trying to remix albums at the mastering stage, much to Porky’s annoyance. I was also incredibly impressed by his custom made pink, pig shaped notepads…classy. He’s a gentleman and a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
