George "Porky" Peckham is a British record cutting engineer, widely recognised as among the most accomplished in the business. He has been responsible for producing the master discs from which countless vinyl records have been pressed over the last 40 years. His master discs, and the records produced from them, are known as "Porky Prime Cuts" and often bear either the motto "A Porky Prime Cut" or a cryptic or humorous comment (signed "Porky"), etched into the run-out groove. Other inscriptions attributed to him include "Pecko" and "Pecko Duck". One of his most technically demanding achievements was the so-called "three-sided" album, The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief (1973).
Nowadays George has retired from the music industry but he is selling some of his own personal memorabilia and some quality framed presentation on eBay. All the autographed presentations I have bought from him are genuine and carry his own signed certificate of authenticity and all his feedback seems excellent. The actual autographs look amazing on my wall, and all my friend love them. Have a look at all his genuine stuff on eBay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Porkys-Prime-Cuts His other retirement project is writing his life story, having worked with so many famous names from the 60’s onwards. Anyone who knows George knows his comical nature and love of life. Having lived his life to the full, this book (when he gets it published) is full of humorous stories from his early times in Liverpool. His antics in Hamburg during the 60’s and his narrow escape from the many gangsters and unbelievable situations they got into. His many years working in Apple studios in London, his parties and nights out with the stars many of which have been and indeed still are close personal friends. Having been privilege to read some of his draft work I have gained a huge insight into those times and the many music icons he befriended. Anyone who knows George would not need telling that his stories would be hilarious, but they also offer deep insights into the swinging 60’s, and a lot more! I for one can’t wait for the finished book
