Real Name:
George Mathew Peckham
Profile:
Born Blackburn, England 1942. British lacquer-cutting and mastering engineer, better known as "Porky" (as in "a Porky prime cut") with an illustrious career, including work on The Beatles, Genesis, and Led Zeppelin catalogues.

Legendary, especially for some of the records that he pushed to the limit and cut quite hot. If your cartridge is not up to snuff, you'll know it when it hits the inner grooves on some of the records he's cut.
