Wow. Some fascinating stuff. As you get older you appreciate great sound engineers more and more. Great connection there with Fairchild, famous in certain quarters for many things, including

Fairchild SemiConductors. Anything I can read on Richard Alderson, from his ESP days,

through Dylan and then onwards is interesting. Akin to Dylan's producer in the early days Tom

Wilson. I hope he writes a book someday.

Mostly accurate except for the misspelling of Chip’s last name-it was Monck. The rest of the errors are mine..

Great to read this ! I wonder did Richard record other artists at the Gaslight in that period as well ?
