Re: No answer, and I'm not surprised

>>Original mixing, I was there. 80's dude.

How silly of me, and I thought the original post (here) was referring to the 1999 re-issue. It's now blindingly obvious that what you meant by:

>> I did some work on that album, but their could have been many different "houses" working on it. <<

was that you were sitting in the mixing booth with Brian and the lads, enjoying a smoke and mixing down one of the more legendary production and mastering jobs in history. Words can't explain how humble you must be to not want to claim any public credit for that work by steadfastly refusing to have your name appear anywhere in the credits.

>>Doing some work...was that I was present, amking recommendations. I was not engineering the album...although I have a safety master dat <<

Of course you were, Bill. I can see it all now: Bill Roberts, sitting in the Studio behind Brian Ferry, Bob Clearmountain and Rhett Davis, offering gentle words of encouragement and politely, but firmly correcting any slight mistakes.

However, Bill, you are being far too modest, for when you stated "I had a safety master DAT" , you neglected to mention that you also have posession of a Time Machine, as DAT did not exist in 1982 when Avalon was recorded and mixed. Now come on, Bill, I know you're as modest as they come, but won't you tell us a little about how you managed to spirit a DAT machine back in time from 1984 to 1982 (the first prototype wasn't available until 1983 and samples were not made available to anyone outside Sony before 1984))?

I just have one final question for the great Mastering Engineer amongst us:

Who, exactly, do you think you are fooling?
