Interviews - Mike Rashkow
This isn't really an interview. Mike Rashkow worked
as an engineer at Studio 76 in 1966, and while I did call him 16
February
2005 I didn't have the opportunity to tape the conversation,
and Mr. Rashkow said that everything he knows about Studio
76 and Ed Chalpin was already in the article that he wrote
for Spectropop, so we settled for a rather nice general chat.
While it's not entirely true that he had nothing to add (he did
give me some valuable info during the
call,
included
at
relevant
spots
elsewhere on the site) the article he wrote is extensive,
and better yet fun
to read. So follow this link:

Mike Rashkow says he never met Hendrix, he worked at Studio 76 for about 6 months, and this would seem to have been just before or right after (more likely) the period that Hendrix recorded there. Studio 76 personnel at the time included Rashkow, a tech guy taking care of the equipment ("George"), a secretary and at night Chalpin leased the studio for sessions to Latin producer Vincent Cartagena.
