As a matter of fact, I once checked the LP record, but
I could not find engineers credited. Every other GG disc of that era
has no credits except its producer.
I also checked the label copy (Sony showed me), but no credit.

Yes, indeed. At the GGGathering there is an exhibition of
Don Hunstein photos. I hope I will be able to meet him.
Anyway, tell me check the terminology of the staff:

producer.

recording engineer?

engineer? mixer?
> D. a man behind "Fred" who massaged "Fred'"s shoulder
assistant engineer
Thank you in advance.
