- Phil produced all the early Sweet hits right from 'Funny Funny' and 'Co-Co' through to 'Ballroom Blitz' and 'Teenage Rampage' before going on to produce 'Bye Bye Baby' and 'Give a Little Love' for the Bay City Rollers which were both No 1's. He originally played drums in the 'The Paramounts' in 1965 before forming his own band, 'The Phil Wainman Set'. He secured a residency at Dolly's Club and after meeting Island's Chris Blackwell was offered the job of backing Jimmy Cliff. He started writing songs and co-wrote 'Little Games' for the' Yardbirds'. After the Bay City Rollers he produced Alex Harvey's 'Next' album. His greatest chart success, however, was the production of 'I Don't Like Mondays' by the Boomtown Rats. He also worked with Billy Idol and Adrian Gurvitz. In this interview Phil tells his story with many fascinating anecdotes and helps provide an insight into why he and the artists he worked with became so successful.
What an interesting down to earth guy!....great interview.
SWEET!!
Fascinating interview with Phil. I love his work with The Sweet and SAHB.
What a nice guy.
He seems such a nice chap! You can see how he'd get the best out of his musicians.
Wonderful stories. Thank you.
Good man, love his work with SAHB
Very interesting . Would have loved to have heard of his experience of working with Mud on their " Use your imagination " album .
A VERY full life 👍
Phil Wainman produced all the classic Sweet records. After Ballroom Blitz, Wainman/Chinn/Chapman Co-Produced "The Six Teens", Chinn/Chapman produced "Turn It Down" without Phil.
Wainman had nothing to do with the sixteens. They also had plenty of classic records after he left too.
Turn It Down is the one Sweet song I detest.
Met Phil Wainman in forest hill studio lecture. He picked me out and gave his card.
Went to meet him in Eutopia village. He could not believe the demo i played him and offered the band a publishing deal. Unfortunately the band had other ideas and did not act on it.
Sorry o never got tp work with him he was a straight talking person whom was easy to get on with.
This was around 1985.
That sounds a lot like finding out that you've won the lottery, but lost the ticket ...
It wasn't called Sony in 1961,it was bell and sister outfit called Arista.
Great interview .
Great producer. How did you get those drum sounds on The Sweet's Ballroom Blitz. Fell in love with it as a boy and it's stood out all these years as a great production.
Multiple layered, like they did with the vocals. Mike Leander used that technique earlier on with the Glitter Sound. A drummer can never play a song exactly the same, twice; that's how you achieve that specific sound. Mick Tucker was a great drummer btw!
I didn't want the story in all its anecdotage about Ballroom Blitz to end 37:00 in.. etc
They arnt the only band to say that,english and scottish combo
A little misstake there Phill, Little Willy was the first single the boy's played on the A side
Really? I thought so, too... but, from what I’ve read, “Little Willy” was still recorded with session musicians, including Phil on drums.
@@caryheuchert No, there was indeed a session with Phil on drums but, it didn't quiet worked out. So later the boys did a new one after a big dicussion ofcourse.
Rob Damen - That’s good to know. I would rather believe it was The Sweet themselves playing on “Little Willy”. It sounds like them anyway.
No- Sweet played on the re-recorded version for Top of the Pops, but the single was Phil's session guys. The B-side of course was Sweet.

Tolles Interview, nur die Sch... Werbung vorab kann richtig nerven!!!
keinen werbeblocker an?
ich kann das auch nicht verstehen was das alles mit der werbung soll.
gerade die 'influencer' bestehen doch nur aus werbung. früher nannten wir das schleichwerbung.
es existiert nur geldwert, in dem menschen arbeiten. arbeiten wir nicht schon genug?
haben wir nicht langsam das recht auf eine neue form der werbung?
das
man sie sich aussucht!
zB alles was neu ist oder es noch nicht gab: hier kommen sie auf die seite zur info- werbubg, wählen sie einen bereich der sie interessiert! zB !
und andere werbung: produkte die sie kennen und regelmäßig nutzen,
wählen sie hier großkonzern oder familienbetrieb, was wollen sie lieber unterstützen?
unter-rubrik:
lieferwege!
gibt es da auch was regional ?
ich gehe jede wette ein das 90% da meiner meinung sind.
der internet-browser firefox hat oben rechts bei den drei strichen
ein einstellungs- menü
dort können sie firefox-interne werbe-blocker aktivieren. oder sie suchen
bei ecosia (eine suchmaschine die bäume pflanzt wenn sie etwas im internet suchen!)
nach anderen kostenlosen werbeblockern.
DIE FIRMEN haben die videos nicht erstellt, sondern der jeweilige KANAL. wie dreist muß man sein um dort
wie eine kranke hafennutte die dir einen tripper anhängen will, so mit seiner werbung zu stalken?
Les was always full of himself,thought he was better then Eric, since Eric had his first band witness,then keyhole,then the band with a thousand names who became pilet in 1974.so if course they wanted to play on their own records.paton wasn't qualified trying to keep up with the big boys,didn't happen.soon no english will be allowed in Scotland or any other country.
He's copying George Martin.
