Are We Still Rolling? Studios, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll - One Man's Journey Recording Classic Albums

Thank you for being a star and buying direct!

Phill Brown is the sound engineer and producer who – over an illustrious 50-year career – has worked with many of the biggest names in rock and roll.

In this reissued and updated version of his 2011 memoir, Phill describes the ups and downs of a professional recording studio, working on sessions for The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Cocker at the famed Olympic Sound Studios in London. As a young sound engineer, Phill learned the ropes from experienced engineers and producers such as Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer, and soon worked his way up the ladder, engineering sessions and producing albums. His remarkable roll call includes Steve Winwood, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Talk Talk, Roxy Music, Go West, Dido, and many other legendary rockers.

With a foreword by Robert Palmer, Are We Still Rolling? is more than a recollection of treasured music-making over 50 years. It is one man’s journey through a life where drug abuse, chaos,rampant egos, greed, lies and the increasingly invasive record business all took their toll. It’s also a cautionary tale, where long workdays and what once seemed like harmless indulgences had sinister consequences.

“In the form of a diary, he takes us through the crazy journey that is making music. His excellent recollections of the excesses of morons and geniuses involved in creating melodies and rhythms for us to enjoy are sheer entertainment.” (Robert Palmer)
