What a great photo! One of my all time favs. That's John Haeny, Paul Rothchild and Jim of course. Sunset #1 as you know. That console was built by Alan Emig. Fantastic acoustic designer as well that also built Elektra Studio for Jac Holzman. Alan did some modifications to the Sound Techniques desk at Elektra as well. I restored 9 of the 20 original units. Unbelievable sounding units. I believe you're right on the Bruce Botnick interview. Bruce has been super cool to me and very helpful. And Jac as well. Top class guys.
Thanks for the comment in regard to the new documentary. It will be coming out late next year, or early 2018. Being done out of London and the guys making it happen are really in it for the right reason. Think it's going to be a smash!
Know this isn't BB or BW, but this is a neat video that I thought you guys might enjoy. Within a year of the Smily Smile period, so a nice snapshot of the time. June or July of 1968. Found it about a year ago. Bruce Botnick and Paul Rothchild at the Sound Techniques A-Range desk in Elektra Sound Recorders. The Doors, Wild Child..
