Ken Scott (born 20 April 1947) is a British record producer and
engineer known for being one of the five main engineers for the
Beatles, as well as engineering Elton John, Pink Floyd, Procol Harum,
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Duran Duran, the Jeff Beck Group and many more.
As a producer, Scott is noted for his work with David Bowie,
Supertramp, Devo, Kansas, the Tubes, Ronnie Montrose, Level 42, 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, and Jeff
Beck.Scott was born in South London, and grew up listening to 78 rpm
records of artists like Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, and Eddie Cochran
on a wind-up 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.
