We were able to talk about his start in the industry at EMI Recording Studios, which would eventually become Abbey Road. Working in the tape library, Ken recalls having held the 1″ 4-track tape of The Beatles’s “Can’t Buy Me Love” before the world had ever heard it! After some time, he was promoted to 2nd engineer (or “button pusher” as it was known in those days) and worked his first session on A Hard Day’s Night.
From 2nd engineer, Ken was promoted to disc cutting and finally to engineering. A trial-by-fire learning experience the whole way, Ken remembers sitting at the console, having no idea how anything worked, and engineering The Beatles track “Your Mother Should Know.”
