I'm sure you're all aware that Norman Dolph died last week.
It was an opportunity for me to re-read this great interview: https://www.furious.com/perfect/velvetu ... dbook.html

Thanks a great interview, we all owe him a debt of gratitude for helping to make that record happen

Wasn't aware of his death, so thanks for the [sad] news.
For his remembrance, here's another, later [2013] interview with Norman Dolph - https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques ... und-heroin [includes some interesting images]

Yes, the SoS article was also excellent, providing great insights from Norman Dolph.


In the "this is strange" department, he later was involved with a couple of dollar bin moogsploitation records:

Such an interesting character.

Sad news. Years ago I tracked down his email address and asked him a few nerdy questions, which he very graciously answered. A gentleman.

I believe it was Joe Harvard, for his 33-1/3 book on the Banana album, who first discovered Dolph's role, and got some very good information from him. Joe himself died a few years ago.
