Syd Barrett engineer Mike Sheady dies

Posted October 14, 2019 by Floydian Slip

Abbey Road Studios has announced sound engineer Mike Sheady has died.

Abbey Road calls Sheady “one of the world’s most well-respected senior classical engineers.” According to the studio, his 1988 recording of Mahler’s “Second Symphony” earned him the Gramophone Engineering Award.

Earlier in this career, Sheady engineered sessions for The Beatles, and was one of several engineers to work on Syd Barrett‘s “The Madcap Laughs” album, released in 1970.
