Vic Maile — British producer and sound engineer, the sort of studio man I trust because he understood noise before trying to tidy it up. He began at Pye Studios in the mid-1960s, worked the mobile recording truck by the late 1960s, and had his fingerprints on rough, living rock rather than showroom polish. In the 1970s he engineered and produced for The Who, Dr. Feelgood, Eddie and the Hot Rods, The Pirates and other hard-working pub-rock bruisers. Then came the heavy-metal years: Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" in 1980 and "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith" in 1981, Girlschool's early Bronze-era punch in 1980-1981, and Twisted Sister's "Under the Blade" in 1982. He made bands sound awake, dangerous, and properly unwilling to behave.
