Bruce Swedien In the Studio with Michael Jackson
The inside secrets of Michael Jackson’s greatest records by the Grammy-winning engineer who captured and enhanced their sound. Multiple color photos of Jackson, producer Quincy Jones, and all the talents who collaborated to make pop history with Jackson’s albums. Plucked from a job at legendary Universal Audio in Chicago, Bruce Swedien entered into a fruitful and historic 30-year relationship with producer Quincy Jones.
That partnership culminated in the groundbreaking recordings of Michael Jackson, beginning with The Wiz, continuing with Jackson’s breakout solo debut Off the Wall, and triumphing with Thriller, which revolutionized music and video and fixed Jackson in culture as the King of Pop.
Now Swedien reveals the technical details of creating those albums (along with Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory) and offers personal remembrances and anecdotes about working with the pop icon. Swedien’s book provides an insider’s look that will thrill anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of hit making and the history of some of America’s most influential recordings. *

IN THE BEGINNING…
Bubbles is a Common Chimpanzee, known for his association with the American recording artist Michael Jackson, who adopted the three-year-old chimp from a cancer research clinic in Texas in 1985. The pair enjoyed a close relationship, which many media sources mocked.
The association—along with other factors—led the public to think of Jackson as a bizarre eccentric, obsessed with recapturing his childhood, and he was subsequently dubbed “Wacko Jacko”.
WHO’S BAD? BUBBLES
Among several outings during his time with the entertainer, Bubbles sat in for the recording sessions of the Bad album and escorted Jackson for the filming of the “Bad” music video. Jackson had insisted that the chimp and his pet snake attend as spectators—and accompanied Jackson for the filming of the “Bad” music video. At a party to celebrate and promote Bad, Bubbles reportedly “worked the room” and was “the life of the party”.
