'''Ken Scott''' (born 20 April 1947) is an English [[record producer]] and [[Audio engineer|engineer]] known for being one of the five main engineers for [[the Beatles]], as well as engineering [[Elton John]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[Procol Harum]], the [[Mahavishnu Orchestra]], [[Billy Cobham]], [[David Bowie]], [[Duran Duran]], [[the Jeff Beck Group]], [[Supertramp]], and many more.

As a producer, Scott is noted for his work with Bowie, [[Supertramp]], [[Devo]], [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]], [[the Tubes]], [[Ronnie Montrose]], [[Level 42]], [[Missing Persons (band)|Missing Persons]], among others.

Scott was also influential in the evolution of [[jazz rock]], pioneering a harder rock sound through his work with Mahavishnu Orchestra, [[Stanley Clarke]], [[Billy Cobham]], [[Dixie Dregs]], [[Happy the Man]], and [[Jeff Beck]].

==Career==
===Early years===
Scott was born in London,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://jazzviews.net/ken-scott-from-beatles-to-jazz-rock-fusion/|title=Ken Scott - From Beatles to Jazz-Rock Fusion |first=George |last=Cole |date=9 March 2023 |publisher=jazzviews.net |access-date=19 April 2024}}</ref> and grew up listening to 78 rpm [[Phonograph record|records]] of artists like [[Elvis Presley]], [[Bill Haley (musician)|Bill Haley]], and [[Eddie Cochran]] on a wind-up [[Phonograph|gramophone]]. In 1959 at the age of 12, he received a tape recorder which he used to record material from the [[BBC Light Programme]] ''[[Pick of the Pops]]'', but it was an episode of ''Here Come the Girls'', an [[Alan Freeman]]-hosted TV show about British female pop artists in recording studios, that first focused Scott's career aspirations as a recording engineer when it featured [[Carol Deene]] singing in a recording session from the point of view of Studio Two at [[Abbey Road Studios]], where Malcolm Addey was behind the recording console.

===The Abbey Road years===
On Saturday, 18 January 1964, Scott wrote letters inquiring about recording engineer job openings and mailed them to several London recording studios. Three days later he was contacted by [[Abbey Road Studios]] and subsequently interviewed and offered a position the following day. Scott began working the following Monday at the age of just 16. He received the traditional Abbey Road studio training under engineers like Malcolm Addey and [[Norman Smith (record producer)|Norman Smith]]. His first job was in the tape library, and within six months he was promoted to 2nd engineer (known then as a "button pusher"), where his first session was on side two of [[the Beatles]]' album ''[[A Hard Day's Night (album)|A Hard Day's Night]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Buskin |first1=Richard |title=Classic Tracks: The Beatles 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' |url=https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-beatles-while-my-guitar-gently-weeps |website=[[Sound on Sound]] |access-date=21 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821053508/https://www.soundonsound.com/people/beatles-while-my-guitar-gently-weeps |archive-date=21 August 2016 |date=June 2012 |url-status=live}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Massey |first1=Howard |title=The Great British Recording Studios |date=1 October 2015 |publisher=Hal Leonard |location=Milwaukee, WI |isbn=9781458421975 |pages=15–17 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ERqbCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT36 |access-date=27 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Jake |title=Behind the Boards II: The Making of Rock 'n' Roll's Greatest Records Revealed |date=May 2014 |publisher=Hal Leonard |location=Milwaukee, WI |isbn=978-1480350601 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R8vdAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT40 |access-date=27 December 2018}}</ref>

Among the other artists he worked with as a button pusher were [[Manfred Mann]] ("[[Do Wah Diddy Diddy]]" was the first UK number one single he worked on), [[Peter and Gordon]], [[the Hollies]], [[Judy Garland]], [[Johnny Mathis]], [[Cliff Richard and the Shadows]], and [[Peter Sellers]].

After a short time as an assistant engineer, Scott was promoted to "cutting" (known as mastering today), where he spent approximately two years cutting not only acetates for artists, but the masters for many of the hits that EMI also distributed at the time, including the American [[Motown]] catalogue.

In September 1967, Scott was promoted to engineer, where his first session was with the Beatles on their song "[[Your Mother Should Know]]". His first orchestral recording session came a few days later when he recorded the strings, brass and choir for the band's song "[[I Am the Walrus]]". During his time with the Beatles, Scott also worked on the songs "[[Lady Madonna]]", "[[Hello, Goodbye]]" and "[[Hey Jude]]", as well as ''[[The Beatles (album)|The Beatles]]'' and ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (album)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' albums.<ref name="Fanelli">{{cite web|url=http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-abbey-road-engineer-ken-scott-discusses-recording-beatles-white-album-says-sessions-were-blast|title=Interview: Abbey Road Engineer Ken Scott Discusses Recording The Beatles' White Album, Says Sessions Were a 'Blast'|last=Fanelli|first=Damian|date=30 April 2012|work=[[Guitar World]]|access-date=14 November 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129065902/http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-abbey-road-engineer-ken-scott-discusses-recording-beatles-white-album-says-sessions-were-blast|archive-date=29 November 2014}}</ref> Among the notable songs from those albums that he worked on are "[[The Fool on the Hill]]", "[[Glass Onion (song)|Glass Onion]]", "[[Helter Skelter (song)|Helter Skelter]]", "[[Birthday (The Beatles song)|Birthday]]", "[[Back in the U.S.S.R.]]", "[[While My Guitar Gently Weeps]]" and "[[Not Guilty (song)|Not Guilty]]", the last of which was recorded for the ''White Album'', but not included on it.

As an engineer at Abbey Road, Scott also worked with numerous other artists including [[the Jeff Beck Group]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[the Pretty Things]], [[Scaffold (band)|Scaffold]] and [[Mary Hopkin]]. In late 1969, shortly after completion of the [[Procol Harum]] album ''[[A Salty Dog]]'', he left Abbey Road for [[Trident Studios]], at the suggestion of [[Elton John]] and producer [[Gus Dudgeon]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chiccarelli |first1=Joe |title=Shooting to Thrill |url=https://www.emusician.com/gear/shooting-to-thrill |website=EMusician |publisher=Future Publishing |access-date=27 December 2018}}</ref>

===The Trident years===
Scott soon found himself working with the Beatles again on their various solo projects, including [[John Lennon]]'s "[[Give Peace a Chance]]" and "[[Cold Turkey]]", [[Ringo Starr]]'s "[[It Don't Come Easy]]" and [[George Harrison]]'s ''[[All Things Must Pass]]''.<ref name="Fanelli" />

After a short time he took over the mixing of Elton John's ''[[Madman Across the Water]]'', after fellow Trident engineer Robin Geoffrey Cable suffered severe injuries in a traffic accident. That led him to work on John's ''[[Honky Château]]'' and ''[[Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Schultz |first1=Barbara |title=Ken Scott Mix Interview: A Career of Classic Tracks |url=https://www.mixonline.com/technology/ken-scott-mix-interview-378789 |website=Mix Online |date=22 February 2010 |publisher=Future plc |access-date=26 December 2018}}</ref>

Also during this period he reconnected with David Bowie (he had previously worked on Bowie's [[David Bowie (1969 album)|1969 self-titled album]] and ''[[The Man Who Sold the World (album)|The Man Who Sold the World]]'') on a project with Bowie protege Freddie Burretti. By this time Scott wanted to move into production, and Bowie said he was about to start a new album and didn't feel comfortable about solely producing himself, so it was agreed that they would co-produce what became ''[[Hunky Dory]]''.<ref name="Mojo">{{cite web|url=http://www.mojo4music.com/13343/inside-abbey-road-beatles-engineer-ken-scott/|title=Inside Abbey Road With Beatles Engineer Ken Scott|last=Eccleston|first=Danny|date=2 April 2014|work=[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]|access-date=14 November 2014}}</ref> After the album was completed, but before it was even released, work began on his next album – ''[[The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars]]'' – again with Scott as co-producer.<ref name="Mojo" /> Scott went on to co-produce Bowie's ''[[Aladdin Sane]]'' and ''[[Pin Ups]]'' albums, as well as the little-seen ''Midnight Special'' television program episode "[[The 1980 Floor Show]]".

During his time at [[Trident Studios]], Scott also teamed up with [[Supertramp]] for ''[[Crime of the Century (album)|Crime of the Century]]'',<ref name="Bosso">{{cite web|url=http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/production-legend-ken-scott-on-10-career-defining-records-543843/11 |title=Production legend Ken Scott on 10 career-defining records : Supertramp – Crime Of The Century (1974) |last=Bosso |first=Joe |date=13 May 2012 |work=MusicRadar |access-date=14 November 2014}}</ref> which was a breakthrough album nearly everywhere in the world except the United States. The album featured two of the band's best-known songs, "[[Dreamer (Supertramp song)|Dreamer]]" and "[[Bloody Well Right]]."<ref>{{cite web |title=Crime of the Century by Supertramp |url=http://www.classicrockreview.com/2014/07/1974-supertramp-crime-of-century/ |website=Classic Rock Review |date=21 July 2014 |access-date=26 December 2018}}</ref>

The follow-up, ''[[Crisis? What Crisis?]]'', attempted to reach those same sonic heights, but it was subject to the limitations of a timetable, because Supertramp had gained a measure of stardom, and a release date and tour had already been planned. The album was also recorded at other studios besides Trident, including Studio D at [[A&M Records]] in Hollywood, the Who's [[Ramport Studios]], and the now defunct [[Scorpio Studios]].

Other artists Scott worked with while at Trident included [[America (band)|America]], [[Harry Nilsson]], [[Lou Reed]], [[Rick Wakeman]], [[the Rolling Stones]], [[Al Kooper]] and [[Lindisfarne (band)|Lindisfarne]].{{cn|date=April 2024}} Scott was also responsible for the [[Clio Awards|Clio-winning]] Coca-Cola advert "[[I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke]]".  Interviewed for tapeop.com, in 2024, Scott said: "I only ever did one ad, and that ad was ''I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke''. ... It got a Clio [award] for it and the whole thing. That was the only ad I ever had to do. ... Yeah, they took the track we did, edited it, and then re-did the vocals without Coca-Cola."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://tapeop.com/interviews/bonus/ken-scott/ | title=Ken Scott: Tape Op Podcast Interview }}</ref>

===Jazz rock===
Scott also helped change the sound of the cross-pollination genre known as [[jazz rock]] or progressive jazz, adding a much harder edge rock sound (especially to the drums) to albums like Mahavishnu Orchestra's ''[[Birds of Fire]]'', ''[[Visions of the Emerald Beyond]]'' and ''[[The Lost Trident Sessions]]'', Billy Cobham's ''[[Spectrum (Billy Cobham album)|Spectrum]]'', ''[[Crosswinds (Billy Cobham album)|Crosswinds]]'', ''[[Total Eclipse (Billy Cobham album)|Total Eclipse]]'', and ''[[Shabazz (album)|Shabazz]]'', Stanley Clarke's ''[[Stanley Clarke (album)|Stanley Clarke]]'' and ''[[School Days (album)|School Days]]'', and Jeff Beck's ''[[There and Back (Jeff Beck album)|There and Back]]''.

Although not strictly jazz nor progressive rock, he also worked with the southern fusion band [[Dixie Dregs]] (''What If'' and ''Night of the Living Dregs'') and the symphonic progressive band [[Happy the Man]] (''Happy the Man and Crafty Hands'').

===Los Angeles===
[[File:Kerzner and Ken Scott in studio.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Scott (right) with musician [[Dave Kerzner]]]]
After spending three months in Hollywood recording Supertramp on the A&M lot, and receiving more production work from the company as a result of the success of Supertramp, Scott decided to permanently move his family to Los Angeles in 1976, just by chance renting a house down the street from [[Frank Zappa]]. Subsequent to that move he produced albums with [[David Batteau]], [[the Tubes]], [[Devo]], [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]], [[Level 42]], [[Dada (band)|Dada]] and others.

At the behest of Zappa's wife Gail, Scott was asked to check out a demo featuring ex-members of Frank's band, [[Terry Bozzio]] and [[Warren Cuccurullo]], along with Bozzio's wife Dale, who had formed a band eventually to be named [[Missing Persons (band)|Missing Persons]]. With Scott at the helm, and thanks to massive airplay from the fledgling rock radio station KROQ, the band went on to record one of the biggest selling EPs ever, which eventually led to a deal with [[Capitol Records]], which then released their first album, entitled ''[[Spring Session M]]''. When the group was not able to find a suitable manager, Scott also assumed that role.

After "artistic differences" caused a split, he went on to produce and manage other acts including Christine in the Attic and [[Cock Robin (band)|Cock Robin]], although neither went on to achieve the level of success of Missing Persons.

Scott's previous relationship with Warren Cuccurullo, who went on to join [[Duran Duran]], led to his mixing an ''[[MTV Unplugged]]'' episode, as well as doing engineering work on the ''Thank You'' and ''Pop Trash'' albums.

In 2000, Scott reunited with former Beatle George Harrison to work on the reissue of his catalogue, included the huge hit ''[[All Things Must Pass]]''. He was also responsible for the organisation of Harrison's entire tape library during that period.

===Current work===
Scott continues to be active in the studio and gives talks around the world. In 2012, he released a memoir entitled ''Abbey Road To Ziggy Stardust'', co-written with Bobby Owsinski and published by Alfred Music Publishing.<ref name="AbbeyZiggy">{{cite book |last=Scott |first=Ken |author-mask=2 |title=Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust: Off the Record with the Beatles, Bowie, Elton & So Much More |year=2012 |publisher=Alfred Publishing Co., Inc. |isbn=978-0-7390-7858-7}}</ref>

Scott is currently a Senior Professor at [[Leeds Beckett University]]'s School of Film, Music and Performing Arts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Staff: Leeds Beckett University |url=https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/staff/ken-scott/ |website=Leeds Beckett University |access-date=27 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Aswad |first1=Jem |title=David Bowie Producer Ken Scott Remembers the Moment He Realized 'Oh Sh-t, He Could Be Huge!' |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7654176/david-bowie-producer-ken-scott-ziggy-stardust-beatles |magazine=Billboard |date=10 January 2017 |publisher=Prometheus Global Media |access-date=26 December 2018}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
Originally from [[South London]], Scott resided in Los Angeles from 1976 to 2013, then relocated to [[Nashville]]. In 2015, he and his wife, Cheryl, moved to [[Harrogate]], North Yorkshire, in the UK.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/environment/music-legend-backs-harrogate-villagers-campaign-against-housing-1-9326301|title=Music legend backs Harrogate villagers' campaign against housing|website=www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk|access-date=26 January 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/what-s-on/music/ken-scott-the-man-who-has-worked-with-everyone-from-the-beatles-to-bowie-1-7609403|title=Ken Scott: The man who has worked with everyone from The Beatles to Bowie|website=www.yorkshirepost.co.uk|access-date=26 January 2019}}</ref>
