The record producer is the music world's equivalent of a film director.
I'm usually going to make a record, finish a record, start a record or start a tour or between tours.
As soon as you start making a record, things start getting lined up: the promotion, possibly even a tour.
To see a lot of the smaller labels disappear or get gobbled up by the bigger labels, that’s a shame. It was a bit of a shock at first to see the demise of the record stores.
There was never going to be a right time for a band that was still recording and had health in its environment, had made a very good record and was playing well.
