Some things I found interesting:
• Andy Johns engineered the first It's Only Rock N Roll sessions in Germany, and Keith Harwood did the rest. Johns goes song by song with analysis, so it's cool to see what was recorded with/without him. So Nico can update his site.
• "Short And Curlies" was first done in Jamaica (I'm sure some of you know that), and Johns absolutely hates it.
• Apparently, he thinks "Dance Little Sister" is trash as well. The interviewer doesn't like Taylor's guitar work on that number.
• There is a lot of Led Zep info too if you're a fan.
• If you're and engineer you will absolutely GEEK out on this interview.

I loooove Dance little sister but have to agree on Taylors solo on that one. Taylor is great on iorr of course but that solo doesnt suit the song.

Just goes to prove that Keith used acoustic guitars on JJF and SFM, unlike what some people have recently insisted otherwise lately.

Is Andy Johns the one that took credit for talking Taylor into leaving the band?

short and curlies is quite good, but cant stand dance little sister.
good album though, same standard as goats head soup.

He did. He also took credit for putting Mick in his place for wanting to overdub other instruments. I like Andy's work a great deal as both an engineer and a producer, but he does often seem like he has a chip on his shoulder.

That is not what 'some people have recently insisted otherwise lately'.
