Inside the Studio: Remixing Thin Lizzy, Robin Trower, and The Who’s Quadrophenia

Author: Phil Aston February 24, 2025 Duration: 27:22

I sit down with producer and audio specialist Richard Whittaker to discuss the brand-new Thin Lizzy Acoustic Sessions album. Richard shares how he unearthed forgotten elements in the master tapes, recorded new guitar parts with Eric Bell, and balanced vintage authenticity with modern production. We also dive into his work on the 1976 Thin Lizzy Box Set, Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs, and The Who’s Quadrophenia.There are also hints that there might be new Thin Lizzy Box Sets for the first two album and Nightlife and Fighting.
