Glyn Johns




He has worked with such artists as The Beatles , The Steve Miller Band , Led Zeppelin , The Rolling Stones , The Who , Family , The Eagles , Eric Clapton , The Clash , Midnight Oil and the Blue Öyster Cult , plus Linda Ronstadt , Emmylou Harris and many others.

After an ill-fated singing career in the 1960s with the band The Presidents , Johns began working as a Recording Studio Engineer at IBC Studios , Portland Place , London . In 1969 , Johns was called upon to rescue the near disastrous ''Get Back'' sessions for The Beatles . Johns compiled several versions of the album, which were all rejected by the band, before the project was eventually turned over to producer Phil Spector . Spector then crafted the released album, which was retitled '' Let It Be ''.

Johns' subsequent work on the first three albums by country-rock group The Eagles , was fundamental in establishing the group's sound and style.

Glyn Johns is the father of Ethan Johns , also an accomplished producer who has worked with acts such as Ryan Adams and the Kings Of Leon .
