James Guthrie (record producer)
James K.A. Guthrie (born 14 November 1953 in Edmonton, Middlesex) is an English recording engineer and record producer best known for his work with the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, serving as a producer and engineer for the band since 1978. He is the owner and operator of ''das boot recording'' in Lake Tahoe, California.
==Early years==
Guthrie began his career on 1 October 1973 at Mayfair Studios〔Cunningham, M. "Welcome to the Machine", ''Sound On Stage'', May 1997〕 (in the previous location of 64 South Molton Street) in London, as a trainee tape operator and later assistant engineer, initially trained by studio owner John Hudson. A year later he moved to Audio International studios, working under Richard Millard. His earliest credits are as an assistant engineer on the first two albums by glam rock singer Alvin Stardust. During this time he first worked with Greg Walsh (who would later go on to produce Heaven 17 and Tina Turner among others), whom Guthrie asked to join his FOH production team for the live performances of Pink Floyd's ''The Wall'' in 1980 and 1981.〔Fitch, V. and R. Mahon. ''Comfortably Numb'', page 135〕 By 1976 Guthrie was employed as one of the engineering team at Utopia Studios which also included John Mackswith and Ian Cooper. During his tenure he worked as the engineer on The Bay City Rollers' ''Wouldn't You Like It?'' release (produced by studio owner Phil Wainman), and for producer Barry Blue on ''Breakout'' by The Dead End Kids as well as the first two albums for London-based R&B band Heatwave ''(Too Hot To Handle'' and ''Central Heating''), which would yield the hit singles "Boogie Nights", "Always and Forever" and "The Groove Line". Utopia was also where he first worked with Andy Jackson (Jackson apprenticed as an assistant engineer under Guthrie's supervision),〔Bailey, C. "Interview with Andy Jackson", floydianslip.com, January 2001〕 whom Guthrie later introduced to Pink Floyd and was hired as the band's primary engineer (a position Jackson still holds, as the Senior Mastering Engineer for David Gilmour's studio ''Astoria'' UK).〔White, P. "Andy Jackson: Recording David Gilmour's ''On An Island''", ''Sound On Sound'', July 2006〕 In addition, Guthrie is also credited with suggesting Jon Carin as a keyboard player for Roger Waters' touring band〔Blake, M. ''Pigs Might Fly'', page 374〕 (making Carin one of a select group of people to have played with both Waters and Gilmour, and an incarnation of Pink Floyd), and arranged for Kashmir lead vocalist and guitarist Kasper Eistrup to audition for the same tour (as documented in the film ''Rocket Brothers''), as well as introducing vocalist Rachel Brennock (his then-girlfriend,〔Fitch and Mahon, page 35〕 who used the stage name Rachel Fury) to Pink Floyd,〔Mason, N. ''Inside Out, '' page 287〕 she joined the touring band from 1987 to 1989.
Guthrie later worked at other London-area studios such as The Manor, Advision, and Britannia Row. His initial producer credits would be for singer-songwriter Arlen Greene (co-producing the song "The Jazz Pianist" in 1976) and Fury (their only known single "Miss Demeanor/Stay On Your Feet" in 1977). Guthrie's connection with GTO Records landed him engineering and production duties on the second and third albums for The Movies (''Double A'' and ''Bullets Through The Barrier''); followed by work with Runner (producing their only release, which made the Billboard Top 100). After producing the Judas Priest track "Better By You, Better Than Me" for the album ''Stained Class'', he was selected to produce their follow-up album ''Hell Bent For Leather'' (aka ''Killing Machine'').
By 1980, Guthrie's body of work in regards to engineering, mixing, and production would include a total of six hit singles on both the British and American charts: the first three singles from Heatwave, Marshall Hain's "Dancing in the City", Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" and The Pointer Sisters' "He's So Shy".
