Show Notes
Tony Visconti is a brand name in record production. As a young engineer working in New York, he crossed the Atlantic to make his name in London, where he met two dream collaborators: David Bowie and Marc Bolan. While he immersed himself in the thriving psychedelic rock, prog and folk scenes – and produced some stellar albums in the process – his work with these two glam rock visionaries would set his legend in stone. Tony’s discography is beyond vast, so, in the first part of our series finale, we tackle just the first decade or so of his career. James and Graham talk wizards, ladies of the lake, Vietnam vibes, and acquiring the taste.
