Inside the world of reissues with producer Rob Caiger

from Word In Your Ear

Rob Caiger is one of those special people who turned their teenage obsession with music into a job … from being the only one in ELO’s office who knew where the old tapes were … to learning that what it says on the outside of the box isn’t always what’s on the tape … through embarking on a ten-year project to put out the last Small Faces album from 1970 in its proper form   … via blindfolded journeys to mysterious destinations with the promise of finding some long-lost jewels … and hearing a Rolling Stones out-take bleeding through a multi-track by the Move … through the vault under Smithfield Market out of which tapes would sometimes emerge covered in blood … to preparing for a future where nobody who was there will be able to explain how and why things were recorded … this is the world as seen by the remarkably dedicated people who put together the box sets we all hanker for. The Small Faces: The Autumn Stone record and CD - https://www.thesmallfaces.com/shop/Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
