Playlist image Favoriting

The brilliant English producer/engineer Vic Maile had an incredible career that was cut short by cancer in 1989, when he was just 45.
He worked with The Who on Live At Leeds, produced multiple albums for Motörhead, and has too many other credits to mention here. We’ll span Vic's career and talk with members of The Godfathers, Girlschool, and more!

Vic Maile does what's needed for the time. I agree! I pretty much think he makes things sound the truest they can at any given moment. that's the good stuff. Just one man's opinion of course, but when you serve the song it becomes timeless. I've suffered trying to do this, but being at the mercy of others who had a stake in the project and having to bow to their wishes...oh well!
