My number one hero of all times! 🧡 Oddly enough, despite being a huge Bowie fan, I never bought this album. But after seeing this short video I know I will soon. I never had a good reason for not buying this album anyway. It just never happened. And now I’m really looking forward to it. So thanks a million. 😃👍
Thanks, great narration & loads of detail. I've come to Bowie a bit late, didn't listen to his LP's in the 70's etc untill quite recently. Hunky Dory is a superb LP, the musicianship, song writing, arrangements and recording quality are all spot on. Mick Ronson was a big part of this LP, a brilliant bloke but like all Bowie's backing bands he dumped them. He was a bit like Neil Young in this respect, the music being the main over riding precedent but I can't help but feel in Bowies case, stardom & ambition was more to the fore. Still, he & the musicians who played on his songs left us some blinding music to listen to.
@@mixingmasteringonline Your welcome, I enjoyed the vid. When I really got into listening to music, though it'd always been in my life, I was born in 65, Bowie, by the late 70's was written off as a glam rock pop star with the likes of Gary Glitter, The Sweet, Slade etc. With hindsight early Bowie & Slade made some superb music. The Sweet to a point too, Garry Glitter, the music - cheesey but at the time him an Alvin Stardust, swoon. Shit, even The Wurzils & Showadywaddy were on TOTP! Sorry, waffling, I'll check your other video's out, & thanks again.
These consoles are being built again. They have an expanded eq now for modern needs. Built in California. With design input from old timers who are former Neve and Cadac maybe? They are in the north of England. The new company owner owned a Trident A range. He loves the Gus Dudgeon era Elton John and early Bowie and thought initially those were recorded on the A range. Trident historically has done nothing to clarify this as to bolster the legacy of Trident recording consoles. But the original A range designation at Trident studio was the Sound Techniques console. There is a fascinating video on this console’s history on the Sunset Sound TH-cam channel.
@@Michel-r6m : Ah yes indeed. How could I forget?!?! I had the pleasure of talking to Carmine Rojas once about his work with Bowie. This was approximately half a year after Bowie’s death. He told me about the way he got the gig and about the first time they actually met. What an unbelievably nice guy! He really took the time for me and I could tell he enjoyed talking about him and their time together and he answered all my questions with patience, calmness and a twinkle in his eyes. I will never forget the moment when he took a deep breath, looked me deep into my eyes and said “David was the sweetest man I’ve ever known”. I can’t express how much this meant to me. My sister and I were both huge Bowie fans. Bowie’s music became the soundtrack of my life. I listened to his albums over and over again, I play the guitar and I’ve played some of his songs at home and even during a number of my earliest performances in front of an audience. I asked my girl to marry me while ‘Heroes’ was playing in the background. And it was ‘Heroes’ again being played loudly when we actually married before the eyes of all our friends and family. My only sister and I had already been to a few Bowie concerts. Actually, the first time I saw him was with Carmine! Anyway, she and I were standing all the way up front, just a couple of meters away from the stage when Bowie gave his last concert in the Netherlands. And… we played one of her favourite Bowie songs at her cremation ceremony after she died in 2012. She was my very best friend. We literally never had a fight. We shared the same sense of humour and of course our passion for Bowie’s music. Like I said, Bowie’s music became the soundtrack of my life. So when Carmine Rojas told me how sweet of a man David Bowie was, it meant so much for me. It’s so important to know that your role model is (or was) indeed a role model. I won’t mention names, but I’ve had the experience to be told by people who worked with one of my childhood heroes, plus someone who met the lead singer (yet another hero of mine) of a band that literally covered my bedroom walls with their posters (not them personally of course 😅) that they were complete a**holes. This may sound stupid, but stories like that can break your heart and it changes your perspective on everything that made you feel good when things weren’t so good at all. I must admit that one these stories were at least a bit debatable, not that I doubt what happened (my hero not being nice and acting like it was perfectly fine to belittle one of my friends), but I wasn’t there and things could have easily been taken out of context. The other story about one of my childhood heroes was more believable, especially because of the fact that I’ve heard many very similar stories about the same person. Now, in both cases these stories were being told when my ‘love’ for them had already declined since two decades had passed by then. I’m sorry. I digress. I felt the need to tell you my little story about my conversation with Carmine about David Bowie after I read the kind words of Lou Reed. My apologies for that. I can never keep a story short once I start to write on my iPad. It always happens when stay awake because of my ‘new’ addiction, TH-cam. “I really need to sleep, I can’t see anything. O well, this video is only 15 minutes long…” Anyway, again, I apologise for this long and boring read. 🫣
Wtf are you talking about? Regardless of which phase of his career you prefer, Bowie always had top backing musicians. As for the testosterone comment, is that supposed to be a criticism of Hunky Dory? SMH…

Fantastic album. It sounds great after 50+ years later, a sure testimony to the quality of analog recording.. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for this series. Very helpful information for those of us trying to create our own studio.
Great to know its appreciated, thank you!!
bowie had an incredible, often overlooked, voice. hunky dory is my personal favorite.
I absolutely love your videos, and I look forward to every one of them. Fantastic!
Thank you! 😀
My number one hero of all times! 🧡

Some incredible photos and detailed information. Really enjoyed it. Thank you
Really nice video. Probably my favourite Bowie album. Loved the really interesting factoid about the piano!
Thank you! Yeah, that piano’s had quite a life!
I think I heard Rick Wakeman say that the studio didn't actually own that piano, but permanently rented it!

Thank you. I took me a while to really appreciate his genius too. Maybe because his greatest period wasn’t when I was discovering music in general.

Another great video 🤙
Thank you 🙏
Great video, very informative, thanks for uploading
Thank you!
Currently binging all your videos! Everything you do is so well done 🙏🎵🔥
Thank you! 😃
@mixingmasteringonline you're welcome! Are you on Instagram?
Bowie also sang on Lou Reed Transformer, an album I often play in tandem with Ziggy 👍
He didn’t just sing on it, if I’m not mistaken he produced the whole album as well.
@mariodriessen9740 Mick Ronson & David Bowie 😎
Lou Reed speaks very fond of Bowie in an interview/making of Transformer.

An awesome video series and much appreciated. Thanks
Thank you! 😀
Like many others I bought Ziggy Stardust first and then Hunky Dory. Both superb albums and I still think are his best.
Ken Scott's shirt at 4:08 - I had one! It was the "Homepride" men.
not sure why there is a picture of Bill Wyman in there... :)
The Spiders From Mars, era was Bowie's best. Having a real rock band behind him, added some much needed testosterone. Thanks MMO.
Wtf are you talking about? Regardless of which phase of his career you prefer, Bowie always had top backing musicians. As for the testosterone comment, is that supposed to be a criticism of Hunky Dory? SMH…
Love these videos. I hate being pedantic, but Space Oddity came out in 1969.
Thank you! Yeah, I knew that too, no idea why I said 68.
Mick ronson was exceptional.
6:44 Dallas Taylor? Surely they were talking about Ralph Molina..
Next do Pin Ups please!
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be looking into it 👍
@mixingmasteringonline its the last album with Ronson, which is to bad because he could have put some great things on Diamond Dogs.
Well researched and informative, but why a picture of Bill Wyman at 3.03 to 3.11? 🤔🤔😧😧
Thank you, it was meant to be zoomed in so you just see the bass and I forgot to do it.
@@mixingmasteringonline No worries! 😉🎸😎
Could you do a video on Live At Leeds
Good call! I'll look into it.
Good video except that Space Oddity wasn't recorded until June 1969 and released in Nov 69 after the moon landings. A hit for late 1969/70 not 1968 🚀
@:25 Space Oddity was 1969 not 1968.
“1968s” Space Oddity?? Ok 🤔
Bill Wyman @3:01... why, man?
😂 ‘Stunt Doubke’
That was excellent, really interesting.
I think you're wasted on TH-cam to be honest!
Thank you, that’s very kind of you 🙏
