Making Time: A Shel Talmy Production
Any fan of the UK's sixties mod, beat and pop sounds will acknowledge the importance of Shel Talmy, the American ex-pat who almost single-handedly changed the sound of British rock'n'roll. Based upon his supervision of the early Kinks and Who alone, Talmy upped the ante and in the process forged a sonic template that would have worldwide reverberations.
