Glyn Johns
Many are aware that Glyn Johns helped to engineer the Beatles Get Back sessions and later was to become an excellent producer. However little was known of his own recording career where he both wrote and performed several songs on a handful of 45s in the 60s. Glyn not only recorded a Beatles song, “I’ll Follow the Sun”, but he also recorded a Stones song under the tutelage of Bill Wyman with Brian Jones playing sitar on the track of “Lady Jane.”
I was able to find this rare Glyn 45 picture sleeve on eBay.
Was also able to find the rare Glyn Johns picture sleeve for “Lady Jane” where he was incorrectly credited as “Glynt” Johns as the record company used his middle initial of T and mistakenly added it to his first name of Glyn.

Another Glyn 45 produced by well-known producer Tony Meehan.
Glyn recorded two 45’s in 1962 and 1963. These are the earliest recordings, appearing in 1962.
This song was a promo song for “jeans”
This is the promo single of Glyn singing a Beatles song.
The pride and joy of my Glyn Johns collection and the most difficult 45 to find. A couple of 1963 recordings of which I own a promo copy.

Get Back – Let It Be
And a bit of poetic justice as well. Glyn finally received the deserved recognition for his work on the Get Back Sessions with the Peter Jackson superb film that appeared on Disney. Also, Glyn finally saw the official release of his mix of the Get Back album on the Let It Be special boxed set.
