SHEL TALMY- PROFILE [Butterboy a ‘K’ Special]

K SPECIAL VA - Shel Talmy: His Greatest Productions (Super Deluxe Edition) (18CD Box Set) (2025)

This is extraordinary and a very thorough and detailed profile of a British pop legendary producer from the US. Shel Talmy. Now if 18 CDs is too much just head over and read the profile it is well worth it anyway and really well done and an true artefact relating to the beginnings of British Pop

If you’re like me and bought several of this when they came out it is truly fascinating

I bought and still have The Kinks’ 'You Really Got Me’ and if you still think it featured Jimmy Pager on lead guitar (it didn’t!) read on . . . . . . Fab! Gear! Swinging!
