Ken Scott has worked with some of the most influential artists in the history of pop music, including David Bowie and The Beatles The early years of his career as a producer and sound engineer were spent at the world famous Abbey Road studios, where one of his first jobs was working on A Hard Day’s Night at the age of just 17.
Alex Nelson sat down with Ken to hear some of the stories from his time at the studios, and to find out some of the things you learn when working with the world’s biggest band.
1. Getting a job at Abbey Road was easier than you’d think.
“It came about because I got fed up with school and wrote a load of letters to them. Then I had an interview and was accepted two days later – and started to work at what became the world’s most famous recording studio. “I started off in the tape library, and three or four months after that I got promoted and just happened to be put on the album with the biggest band in the world…”
2. You never know how big something is going to be.
“I don’t think we ever knew that we’d still be talking about them 40 or 50 years later. Rock and roll wasn’t even that old at that point, so we had no idea. “It was amazing [working with Beatles]. Here I am, a young kid, they’re my favourite band and I’m hearing things before everyone else and being in the same room with them.”
