It was two years ago last month that one of your humble blogger's greatest musical heroes - in a technical sense, not specifically songwriting or performance sense - passed away.
There's not a 48-hour period that goes by that I don't listen to at least one track engineered by Iain Burgess. In fact, I continue to investigate, learn and enjoy "new" records engineered by this Giant among men, just because Iain's one of those people who just had "it". "It" being taste; "it" being sensibility; "it" being genius. It's not hyperbole in the slightest to say that musically, I would not be what I am today if not for entire swaths of records engineered by Iain.
To celebrate this man's contribution to our collective musical heritage, this month I will only be posting records engineered by Iain. By nature of the man's location during his heyday (Chicago, 1980s), this series will necessarily focus on the Midwest punk axis, and by this I mean Chicago and Minneapolis. I, as has been the case lately, will focus on otherwise out-of-print records, because any band that manages to keep its Iain-produced records in print today needs massive piles of cash flung its way.
*I* know what records I have in my pipeline for this series; if you have suggestions please leave a comment! It's entirely possible your suggestion will trump something on my list.

A CD rip of Rifle Sport's Primo would be awesome.
