Think of it, if it wasn't for that producer secretly, without permission, adding rock instrumentation to the Sound of Silence, the world would never have benefited from the enormous body of work by Paul Simon to follow. All because of a hugely inappropriate move. What's the lesson to be learned?

That in 1964 the artists didn’t own their music AND sometimes a producer might actually know wtf they are doing…not always, but sometimes

Not saying he was right to do it, but the label still needed to make some money, and thats his job

That reworking, remixing and sampling are all valid artistic expressions, and that it's possibly OK to work on another person's work, as long as you don't pervert the heart of the art.

The lesson is: send me the raw tracks for the next Gentle Hen album so I can add tin whistle to everything.
