Nice long interview with Randy Thornton, producer of the infamous and now completely-sold-out-everywhere 6-CD mega set.
“Well, I knew that either the company was going to mandate us to do something to be supportive of the 50th or we’d come up with something on our own. Usually there’s never any time to put these things together, to put a lot of thought into stuff. I had been thinking about it for five years, so I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do, and when I played the little montage I had made for our sales and marketing teams, they were jumping out of their seats saying “Oh my god, I remember that!… That’s going to be on there too?” Getting that reaction from them really meant something. They were all behind it.”
