I was 10th in line at Diverse Vinyl in Newport and close enough to the front to get the last free tote bag, but the one copy they had of Dead Air sold before I got in. AirVinyl has been developed by engineers at Air Studios, the recording studio in London founded by producer and engineer Sir George Martin, who worked extensively with The Beatles. The tapes were re-played on an Ampex ATR-102 fitted with custom extended bass response playback heads. John didn’t like the way the track was turning out and left the producer “Robin somebody or other” to overdub and put it together.

Notable for its role in establishing what would become "Chill Out" music forever more, this album is also a masterful highlight of musicianship, instrumentation, and analog studio techniques.
