Glyn Thomas Johns (born 15 February 1942) is an English recording engineer and record producer. He has worked with many of the most famous rock recording acts from both the UK and abroad, such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, Eagles, Bob Dylan, the Band, Eric Clapton, the Clash, the Steve Miller Band, Small Faces, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Joan Armatrading. Throughout his career, he has generally preferred a live, natural approach to recording in the studio, and developed a method of recording drums sometimes referred to as the "Glyn Johns method". The years 1964â€“1984 marked Johns's peak era of activity in which he engineered or produced numerous hit records. In 1965 Johns became one of the first independent British recording engineers to operate freelance rather than under the hire of a particular record label or studio. He was involved in making some of the most influential albums of the rock era such as Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed by the Rolling Stones, Who's Next by the Who, and Led Zeppelin's debut album. Johns was the chief engineer during the Beatles' Get Back sessions for what became the Let It Be album, as documented in the films Let It Be (1970) and (The Beatles: Get Back) (2021). Since 1984 Johns has continued to be active in the industry. Johns is the father of Ethan Johns, and the older brother of Andy Johns (1950â€“2013), both of whom shared the same career. In addition to his work as an engineer and producer, Johns has recorded as a solo musical artist. In 2012, Johns was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, receiving the Award for Musical Excellence.

Early life

Johns was born in Epsom, Surrey, England, on 15 February 1942,{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}} and is the older brother of Andy Johns.{{sfn|Danton|2013}} In his autobiography, Glyn Johns recounts that at the age of eight he joined a local church choir as a boy soprano.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=2}} Felton Rapley, considered one of the leading pipe organists in the UK at the time, became the choirmaster, and as Johns progressed, Johns was given occasional solos and eventually rose to head chorister at the age of eleven.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1pp=2â€“3, 5|2a1=McNair|2y=2014}} Johns attributes his experience in the choir, particularly hearing and watching Rapley play the organ, as having a profound impact on his musical direction.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=2â€“3, 5}} As he approached adolescence, Johns left the choir after his vocal cords began to change.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=5}}

Johns recounts that his next-door neighbour lent him a Guild electric guitar, which sparked his interest playing guitar. At this time Johns was attending the church's Wednesday night youth club, where for the first time he saw Jimmy Page play guitar.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=6}} Johns became a fan of traditional jazz and joined a local ragtag jazz band on tea chest bass.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=6â€“8}} He cites the record "Little Rock Getaway" by Les Paul and Mary Ford as an influence.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=8}} Les Paul was one of the first musicians to experiment with tape multi-tracking and sound effects.{{sfn|Tianen|2009}} Lonnie Donegan's skiffle hit version of Lead Belly's "Rock Island Line" was also influentialâ€”according to Johns, "I had heard nothing like it and rushed out to buy it the next day".{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=8}} He soon bought his own guitar and was introduced to blues and folk recordings by a neighbour, who lent him records by artists such as Snooks Eaglin, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Woody Guthrie, and Burl Ives.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=9}} Johns began to keep company with a group of friends interested in music, whose ranks included Ian Stewart (later in the Rolling Stones).{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=9â€“11}} In 1959 at the age of 17, Johns left school, and with Mayhew and Golding formed the band the Presidents.{{sfn|Walsh|2014}}

Career in music and recording

Over a long career as an engineer and/or producer, Johns has worked with numerous successful musical acts in the industry.{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}} Johns has also recorded as a solo musical artist.{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}}

Early years: 1959â€“1963

IBC Studios and as performing artist

Coats and ties were required to be worn by recording engineers (and white lab coats for technical engineers). Most recordings were done then in mono (except for classical music).{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=20}} During Johns's first year at IBC, the popularity of rock and roll increased and demand for records that sounded more American.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=18}} Engineers were confronted with the challenge of capturing louder music.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=20}} Younger engineers were more apt to try new approaches, and Terry Johnson, another young engineer at IBC, convinced Johns to move in this direction.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=18}} Johns recounts that Jack Good, one of the UK's early successful television rock and roll producers, made regular use of IBC Studios, and did many of his recordings with Johns and Johnson engineering sessions.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=21â€“22}} They engineered pre-recorded tracks for the Oh Boy! television programme, which featured leading British rock and roll performers of the day, such as Joe Brown, Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Wee Willie Harris, and others.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=21â€“22}}Johns recounts that in the early 1960s, he was signed to Decca Records as a solo musical performing artist at the urging of Jack Good.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=24â€“25}} Johns's first single, "Sioux Indian", was produced by Jack Good{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=24â€“25}} and the next two produced by Tony Meehan.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=49}} Johns later went on to record for Pye Records{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=49}} and Immediate Records,{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=49â€“50}} but none of his solo records became hits.{{sfnm|Ankeny on Johns}}During this time, Johns was playing in the Presidents,{{sfn|Johns|2014}} who, according to Johns, began to put the phrase "Featuring Decca Recording Star Glyn Johns" on their posters.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=25}} Johns realised that he could invite musicians to IBC on Sundays, when the studio was not booking sessionsâ€”letting musicians play in the sound room whilst he honed his engineering and producing skills at the console.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=24â€“26}} The makeshift sessions attracted many of the best young musicians in London, such as Jimmy Page, Ian Stewart, Alexis Korner, Brian Jones, and Nicky Hopkins.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=25}} Johns recounts that his first session as chief engineer was for a recording by Joe Brown, which was produced by Tony Hatch.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=28â€“29}}{{efn|The chief engineer (or balance engineer) is usually an experienced engineer who (often under the producer) supervises studio crew and critical aspects of the recording process. Amongst various tasks during recording sessions, the chief engineer operates equipment in the control room that requires complicated settings, such as the recording console, outboard equipment/signal processing. The chief engineer will usually set the preliminary levels (pre-mix) during the recordings. The chief engineer will often do the later final mix, but sometimes another engineer is chosen for the final mix.}} In 1962, Johns entered into an arrangement with George Clouston, the manager at IBC studios, to let him produce records by certain artists.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=41}}

The Rolling Stones 1962â€“1963

{{see also|The Rolling Stones|Ian Stewart (musician)}}Johns's friend, Ian Stewart was playing piano with the Rolling Stones.{{sfn|Boyle|2014}} The two lived for a while in a house nicknamed "the Bungalow" with one of Stewart's friends, Brian Wiles, who played in a group with Jeff Beck.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1pp=33â€“35|2a1=Boyle|2y=2014}} It was through Stewart that Johns became involved in recording the Rolling Stones on their earliest recordings.{{sfn|Boyle|2014}} Johns mentions that in March 1963, he brought them to IBC to record several tracks.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1p=43|2a1=Rother|2y=2014}} After Andrew Loog Oldham became the Rolling Stones' manager, Stewart was asked to leave the group, and Oldham took over the role as producer of the group's recordings.{{sfn|Fricke|1986}} Oldham moved the Rolling Stones' sessions to other studios, such as Regent Sound, using other engineers, and for more than a year Johns was not involved with the Rolling Stones recordings.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=45}}

As engineer for Shel Talmy

In 1963, Johns made arrangements to produce and record a session with Georgie Fame,{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=45}} but was paired, only as engineer, with producer Shel Talmy.{{sfn|Bensley|2021}} Initially he was skeptical, but unexpectedly enjoyed working with Talmy, and the two formed a successful partnership on many recordings for the next couple of years, recording hit songs for acts such as the Kinks and the Who.{{sfnm|1a1=Bensley|1y=2021|2a1=Ankeny on Johns}}

It has been debated which mix appeared on the first Capitol pressing of the album.{{sfn|Chelstowski|2021}}}}Johns engineered and produced the Eagles' first three albums, bringing them to Olympic Studios in London to record their self titled debut,{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1p=192|2a1=Moore|2y=2022}} followed by Desperado,{{sfn|Walsh|2014}} and the early sessions for On the Border.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} During these years they achieved success, recording hits such as "Witchy Woman", "Tequila Sunrise", and "Best of My Love", which became their first number one hit single.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} Increasingly the group began to develop internal friction and with Johns.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} They also objected to John's ban on use of drugs in the studio.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} By 1974, singer/guitarist Glenn Frey and drummer/vocalist Don Henley gained control of the band,{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} and sought a more hard-rocking approach.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} Johns, who preferred their early country-rock orientation,{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1p=202|2a1=Giles on Eagles|2y=2016}} fell out of favour with the group and left during the making of On the Border, so they moved the sessions to California and brought in producer/engineer Bill Szymczyk to finish the album.{{sfn|Giles on Eagles|2016}} Eventually, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon departed,{{sfn|Wilson|2020}} and the band recruited Don Felder and former James Gang guitarist Joe Walsh.{{sfn|Yeniocak|2022}}
Other American acts
Johns engineered and co-produced the first two albums by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, which provided the hits "If You Wanna Get to Heaven" and "Jackie Blue".{{sfn|Foley|2021}} Johns worked with others such as Spooky Tooth,{{sfn|Drum Mag.}} Billy Preston,{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1p=159|2a1=Liner Notes.com on Preston}} and Howlin' Wolf.{{sfn|Black|2020}} Johns engineered the song "A Man Needs a Maid" on Neil Young's 1971 Harvest album.{{sfn|Aswad|2022}} Johns has also worked with Emmylou Harris.{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}}
Joan Armatrading
File:Joan armatrading.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Glyn Johns produced three albums by Joan Armatrading Joan ArmatradingAfter assessing the disappointing sales of Joan Armatrading's second album, A&M Records selected Johns to produce her next three albums,{{sfn|Futrell et al.|1982|p=170}} beginning in 1976 with Joan Armatrading,{{sfn|Melody Maker|1975}} followed by Show Some Emotion (1977), and To the Limit (1978).{{sfn|Monger on Armatrading}} Providing Armatrading with her first chart hit, "Love and Affection", the eponymous third album cemented her career, and was once described by Johns as his best work.{{sfn|Futrell et al.|1982|p=170}}
The Clash
In 1982, Johns worked with the Clash during the late stages of making the album Combat Rock.{{sfn|Gray|2004|p=386}} Initially it was intended to be a double album tentatively under the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Brag.{{sfn|Gray|2004|pp=385â€“386}} The group's chief songwriters Mick Jones and Joe Strummer disagreed on how to proceed, and according to Johns even booked separate studios in New York to do their own competing mixes of the album.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=252}}{{efn|It is well known that Mick Jones did a mix prior to the arrival of Glyn Johns, but in Glyn Johns's autobiography, he mentions that both Strummer and Jones did mixes.}} According to Clash biographer Marcus Gray, the group's manager Bernie Rhodes, pushed to bring in either Gus Dudgeon, who had produced Elton John, or Glyn Johns.{{sfn|Gray|2004|p=386}}{{efn|The situation that Gray recounts is somewhat confusing. Gray indicates that Rhodes may have meant Glyn Johns when he proposed Dungeon.}} Johns recounts that the chief of London's CBS Records A & R department, Muff Winwood (brother of musician Steve Winwood), having been dissatisfied with Jones' and Strummer's mixes, asked Johns to remix the album.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=252}} Johns agreed and, upon hearing an acetate of one of the previous mixes, was concerned about the record's apparent self-indulgence, but was also impressed with many of its tracks and realised that there was enough strong material to make a good album.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=254}} Johns recommended that the album be shortened to one disc, and proceeded to reduce the number of tracks for inclusion, plus he edited down the length of several tracks in addition to remixing all of the songs that ended up on the final release.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1p=255|2a1=Gray|2y=2004|2pp=386â€“387}}{{efn|In similar fashion, Johns helped the Who pare down Pete Townshend's sprawling Lifehouse concept into the more concise Who's Next (1971).{{sfn|Gray|2004|p=386}}}}
1985â€“present
Though Johns's output slowed in the mid-1980s, he undertook work with Midnight Oil, Nanci Griffith, Belly,{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}} New Model Army,{{sfn|Huey on NMA}} Joe Satriani,{{sfn|Renzi|1996}} John Hiatt,{{sfn|Hochman|2001}} Buckacre,{{sfn|Drum Mag.}} Gallagher and Lyle,{{sfn|Ofjord on Seeds album}} Georgie Fame,{{sfn|Drum Mag.}} Helen Watson,{{sfn|Drum Mag.}} and many others.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=297â€“300}} Johns produced much of Linda Ronstadt's 1998 We Ran album.{{sfn|Erlewine on Ronstadt}}In 2011, after a number of years spent largely away from production, Johns worked with Ryan Adams on his album, Ashes & Fire.{{sfn|Schneider|2011}} In February 2012, Johns began work on the Band of Horses album, Mirage Rock.{{sfn|Marchese|2012}} Johns and Clapton collaborated once again for Clapton's 2016 release I Still Do.{{sfn|Brennan|2016}}
Approach to recording
Johns has stated that he prefers, when possible, to record instrumental tracks with musicians playing together live in the studio as a collective unit, using a limited number of microphones and tracksâ€”in a space suitable for ensemble playing that has unique acoustical characteristics,{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=169}} and he generally prefers recording the basic track from one continuous take of a whole performance, rather than editing together different pieces.{{sfn|Drum Mag.}}
"I have never lost the value of musicians interacting with one another as they play. This can be so subtle and invariably is nothing more than a subconscious emotive reaction to what others are playing around you, with what you are contributing having the same effect on them. When a musician overdubs his or her part onto an existing track, this ceases to be a two-way interaction.{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=169â€“170}}

Johns developed an approach for recording drums in stereo, sometimes referred to as the "Glyn Johns Method", that aims to achieve a natural perspective of the whole kit, rarely employing more than three or four microphones.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1pp=117â€“119|2a1=Drum Mag.|3a1=Home Recording|3y=2018}} His method consists of using two overhead microphones, with one placed over the snare drum and the other slightly over and to the right of the floor tom (both pointed towards and equidistant from the snare drum), as well as a third microphone set in front of the bass drum. He sometimes uses an additional close mic for the snare drum.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1pp=117â€“119|2a1=Drum Mag.}}
Family
