Rodger Bain (born c. 1945) is a British former record producer, known for producing heavy metal albums by bands such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest in the 1970s. ==Career== He was the producer of Black Sabbath's first three albums, Budgie's first two albums, Judas Priest's first album, ''Rocka Rolla'', and Wild Turkey's debut album ''Battle Hymn''. Bain dominated the production of Priest's first album and made decisions that the band did not agree with.〔(Judas Priest Info Pages - Rocka Rolla )〕 Bain chose to leave fan favourites such as "Tyrant", "Genocide", and "The Ripper," off the album. As well, he cut the song "Caviar and Meths" from a 10-minute song down to a 2-minute instrumental. He also produced the Judas Priest album ''Hero, Hero'' (an album not authorised by the band, who in their split with Gull Records had had to concede the original recordings of their first albums to Gull, although they retained the rights to the songs), which contained remixed versions of the tracks on ''Rocka Rolla''. Both of these Judas Priest albums received a lot of negative reviews. In 1981 he formed his own Record label called Blue Chip/Cygnet Records and signed bands such as The Kicks, releasing their single "If Looks Could Kill" in 1982. He subsequently went on to produce Barclay James Harvest, producing their first two albums for Polydor, ''Everyone Is Everybody Else'' and ''Barclay James Harvest Live''. Although he reportedly did not get on with the band, the albums are highly regarded.〔http://www.bjharvest.co.uk/eiee.htm〕 In the ''Last Supper'' DVD, Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler describes Bain positively and claims that he let them record their album live which was and still is an uncommon method of recording, when other producers had refused. This is also how he is said to have produced the other albums mentioned above. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rodger Bain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
