      He bullshits a lot though. Some things he says are either false or don't make sense (saying that SPLHCB was recorded in 9 months when it wasn't, saying that 180g vinyl automatically means that quality will be excellent with no surface noise, etc...)
      He talks a lot and sounds knowledgeable to people who know little to nothing about music, but a lot of stuff he says is nuts to people who pay attention to details.

    I had no idea who Wendy Carlos was or how she made the music for Clockwork Orange. Not that I'd count myself as an expert on Kubrick or anything obviously. In any case great knowledge from Visconti; Carlos seems like a legend and I'm glad to know of her. As for their picks, well they are obvious, but they're obvious for a reason, that being they're all great pieces of art.

    I met Daphne at her cousin's Pickering Forest House. She had been shooting a video with Steve Strange in Ireland. He had also been involved in video for Tony's pick, "Scary Monsters." I loved "Clockwork Orange," but I believe that mainly owed to Kubrick's encyclopedic knowledge of classical music. Daphne's cousin helped with the filming of "Barry Lyndon." I had a good conversation with Daphne's father, Lord Moyne, about their neighbor in Cadaqués, Spain, Salvador Dalí. My native Cleveland had had the largest collection of Dalí in the western hemisphere. The Guinness family is very artistically oriented.

    A good pairing. Very nice to see the Small Faces being a choice here. 'There Are But Four Small Faces' is the American version of the British 'Small Faces', the second album with that name by the band, the first being on the Decca label (from which Robert Plant 'borrowed' the lyrics and singing style of Steve Marriott on 'You Need Loving' for use on Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love'), the second on Immediate. There is a great two-part interview with Glyn Johns on CZcams. The phasing on 'Itchycoo Park' was actually devised by one of his crew, and I believe he gives credit accordingly in the aforementioned interview.

      Unfortunately, according to 'Revolution In the Head', Visconti is just wrong about the time involved: Sgt Pepper was mixed and done by about April 3 '67 and the first track of the sessions ('Strawberry Fields Forever') was begun on Nov 24 '66, which is 4 months + 1 week. Unheard of at the time, lots of 'big albums' since have taken much longer, e.g., Thriller took 7 months.
