Boyd produced SIXTEEN albums in 1970 (including one by Dr. Strangely Strange!), yet what stood out for me was all that he didn't do: his influence on Island Records wasn't as great as I had igured, he had almost nothing to do with Warner Brothers hippie movies of the early Seventies though he was in charge of the sooundtrack division (he did produce "Dueling Banjos", weirdly enough), and I really had no idea that the UFO club lasted less than a year. That's amazing, really, considering its influence. Still he did more in a year than I've done in a lifetime...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052429.post-86707295328501750652007-03-17T16:18:00.000+01:002007-03-17T16:18:00.000+01:00Actually, Mike, that's what I was thinking it mean...Actually, Mike, that's what I was thinking it meant, but it was so cloaked in, er, <I>politesse</I>, that unaccustomed political spice for Americans, that it blindsided me, I guess. <BR/><BR/>And b, my Paris was a chain hotel and a not-so-good restaurant. But on the way back, I get most of a day there, and I'm going for a nicer hotel.
