geez Bill Price died late last year....

news just breakin' now..


brilliant sound engineer.. sometimes its hard to tell where the line gets drawn between "producer" and "engineer"... in the case of Bill Price it may be particularly so.. but his role with the Pistols, Clash and Pretenders can't be denied...

wasn't I just writing earlier about how great the Pistols album sounds...marvelous recording

Recording sessions with the Sex Pistols[edit]
In 1976, he was asked by Malcolm McLaren to produce the Sex Pistols.[4] Thomas? colleagues in the recording industry were horrified by his involvement with the Sex Pistols, particularly when he found himself producing the band at the same time as he was working with Paul McCartney. His work with the band also led to one of his most curious album credits. Co-producer Bill Price explained:

?   The simple facts of the matter were that Chris was hired by Malcolm (McLaren) to do a series of singles for the Sex Pistols. I was hired by Malcolm to do a series of album tracks with the Sex Pistols. Life got slightly complicated, because I did a few album tracks that Chris remade as singles. Also, Chris started a couple of tracks, which got abandoned as singles, which I remade to be used as album tracks. On quite a large number of songs, when we'd finished the album, we had two versions of the song. I couldn't quite understand why Malcolm kept chopping and changing between different versions of different songs. It slowly dawned on Chris and myself that Malcolm was trying to slip between two stools and not pay Chris or me. So we said, "I'll tell you what, Malcolm. Whatever's on the Sex Pistols' album, it was either done by me or Chris, and you can pay us and we'll divvy it out amongst our little selves." Which is what we did. But it did force that very strange credit, simply because the sleeve was printed long before it was finally decided which version of each individual song was on the record. If we'd known, it would have said 'produced by Bill Price' or 'produced by Chris Thomas'. That's how you ended up with that credit, 'produced by Bill Price or Chris Thomas'

Seems like the Trump presidency may be more than Bush I and his babe of a wife can take. If so, at least thaey lived full, long lives. Would be nice if a four day weekend resulted.

I'm glad someone spoke up about this. Even in 2017, AIDS is no joke.

It wasn't intended as an AIDS joke. It was intended as a "slut shaming Relaxer" joke.

I see that I did not pull that off. I am so sorry. Totally my bad.

Good on you for your apology. Gonorreah would have been a very acceptabe alternative, imo.

Is Gonorreah fatal? Syphyllis is probably what I should've went with.
