Will Reid-Dick, I first noticed him as the guy behind the glass who could make chaos sound deliberate. Coming out of the 70s hard-rock studio grind, he shows up on records right where heavy metal starts turning professional: engineering Thin Lizzy's 1976 "Johnny the Fox" (Lynott, Gorham, Robertson, Downey), then helping capture Saxon's early NWOBHM punch on 1980's "Strong Arm of the Law" (Byford, Oliver, Quinn, Dawson, Gill). In 1982 he co-produced Motörhead's "Iron Fist" with "Fast" Eddie Clarke (Lemmy, Clarke, Phil Taylor) — a tense, rushed session that became as infamous as it was loud. By the late 80s he was producing Thunderhead (1989), proof his ears travelled well.
