1971'sproducer
James Gay-Rees, explained, "I remember sitting in a room with David Hepworth as he gave me the context of what was happening socially and politically that year, alongside which albums were coming out that year. And. . . it was a slightly jaw-dropping moment, because the list just seemed to never end, and I couldn’t believe that all those records came out of that one year. I mean, some of these months alone are kind of iconic moments for music."
