Eddy Offord is an English retired record producer and audio engineer who gained prominence in the 1970s for his work on albums by the progressive rock bands Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes.[1]
Life and career
Offord spent much of his career while in London at Advision Studios.[1]
ELP wrote a tribute to Offord with the song "Are You Ready, Eddy?", featured on their 1971 album Tarkus.
In 1970, Offord began his partnership with Yes. He suggested that the band record Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973) in the countryside to try and ease tensions that had grown within the group, but the compromise was to record at Morgan Studios with trees, plants, and model cows.[2]
In the late 1970s, Offord relocated to the United States where he worked in Woodstock, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.[1] In 1994, after working on Grassroots by 311, Offord announced his retirement from the music business. In 2011, he changed his mind when his son introduced him to The Midnight Moan, and went on to produce their debut album. Offord has since worked on tracks by Sophia Urista and Allie Hill.[1]
Offord lives in Sarasota, Florida.
