Best of each artist · One record per artist

Best production

The sound, the room and the ideas behind the faders. The album where each artist’s sound was most carefully made – and who was at the desk.

  1. 1 Sly & the Family Stone There’s a Riot Goin’ On 1971 · Soul, funk and R&B Sly Stone overdubbed the tapes again and again and used a drum machine – the sound is murky on purpose. Listen to “Family Affair” Timeless classic
  2. 2 Amy Winehouse Back to Black 2006 · Soul, funk and R&B Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi with the Dap-Kings: a sixties sound that still felt brand new in 2006. Listen to “Rehab” Modern classic
