In 1985, a group of British record producers held an
informal meeting to swap advice and information about
their working lives. For many, the meeting was
enlightening because it was the first opportunity
they had had to discuss their professional roles with
people who undertook the same basic tasks. The
meeting ended with one conclusion - producers needed
a representative body to give them a strong, unified
voice within the industry so that they could express
their views and concerns. The British
Record Producers Guild was established to meet this
need and quickly attracted membership from many of
the UK's top record producers. As it grew it took
responsibility for alerting the music industry to a
wide range of technical and business issues and
provided a forum for discussion with other
representatives of the music industry. There
were practical benefits, too. With the Guild's help
many producers collected additional income from
overseas earnings, while others benefited from the
advice the Guild gave on issues such as archiving on
DAT and rescuing damaged vintage master tapes.
