Martin Birch RIP



Legendary rock producer dies at 71 - producer of Maiden Purple Rainbow etc
He produced some of the truly great Rock albums over the years Deep Purple In Rock, Rainbow Rising, Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell, such massive classics not to forget all of the other top class albums he worked on too including BOC`s Fire Of Unknown Origin and Cultosaurus Erectus and the Maiden albums.

I was actually looking for a contact for Martin Birch 2 or 3 weeks ago to put in an interview request. I`d recently interviewed Eddie Kramer (producer of Hendrix, Zeppelin, KISS etc) and fancied interviewing a few key producers (Bob Ezrin, Terry Brown are on the list too) to chat about making those landmark albums but I couldn`t find anything. Seems like when he retired 20 or so years ago he just kept himself to himself.
