And so, no, there was no official breakup moment.
What was interesting was, you know, I...
Because people often ask how I became a record producer and how I became a manager, and they're terribly different, because being a record producer was an actual concrete ambition of mine.
I wanted to do that.
Oh, I didn't know that, yeah.
Because I'd very much enjoyed the process of making records with Peter and Gordon, and gradually had gotten more and more involved in the actual production and decision-making.
The first track...
the initial big hit, World Without Love, was produced by a man called Norman Newell, who is best known as sort of middle-of-the-road kind of productions.
He produced the UK hit of Andy Williams.
God, I'm losing my memory.
Can't help but loving you.
No.
moon river oh okay um because oddly enough it was a person called danny williams who had the hit in england not andy williams but but norman produced that and that was his first number one i think and he he they he was recommended by emi i mean not recommended he was we were told by him that he was going to be the producer of our first record
Yes.
No, that's true.
That's true.
But once I discovered what a record producer could do, you know, that you could hire musicians vastly better than yourself and tell them what to play, I thought that was brilliant, you know.
My reaction was kind of, how do I get in on that racket, you know?
Yeah.
I love the idea you could try out different arrangement ideas, make suggestions, and things that worked and things that didn't work.
