In the early 1970s, Jones worked as an apprentice engineer in IBC Studios in Central London,[1] while acting as lead singer in the band Mistral. He made his name in the early 1980s, with a jangly sound that was better received than those of many of his contemporaries. Though many of his early clients were big-name acts—Echo & the Bunnymen,[2]the Sound, Modern English,[3] and the Damned, for example—his recent production credits have been more esoteric, though many admire his work with the Charlatans and Kitchens of Distinction.
