Porky
Real Name: George Peckham
George Peckham is a British lacquer-cutting and mastering engineer, better known as "Porky" (as in "a Porky prime cut"), with an illustrious career including work on the catalogues of [a=Genesis], [a=Led Zeppelin], [a=The Beatles], and [a=Whitehouse]. He started his career in disc-cutting as a trainee at Apple in 1968, and his signature can be found in the deadwax/runout grooves on many rock, punk, post-punk, and new-wave records pressed in the UK. Porky often included cryptic/humorous messages in these etchings (e.g., "you'll never work again" on the A-side of [r372019]).
Studios of his career included [l=Apple Studios] (late 1960's), [l=Master Room] (early 1970's), [l=I.B.C. Studios]/[l=Portland Studios] (1974 to 1984), and [l=Porky's Mastering] (since 1984).
