Meet AC/DC's 'Go-To Guy'

November 28, 2008

Fiona Morrow of TheGlobeAndMail.com reports: Mike Fraser takes credit for the latest AC/DC album, "Black Ice", making it to disc — and not just because he's responsible for the sound mix.

He had been keeping a booking window available in his Vancouver studio since the rock band released "Stiff Upper Lip" in 2000 — just in case.

"I just moved it along in three-month blocks," he says. For eight years? "Yes," he shrugs. "I wanted to be ready."

It may sound a little overeager, but 48-year-old Fraser is practically AC/DC family, having worked with them since 1990's "The Razor's Edge". Impatient to get things moving, he called the band last year, suggesting that if they had any mind to start putting an album together, they should buy up a pile of a particular brand of recording tape he'd heard was about to be discontinued. Then, a couple of months later, he dropped in on them in London.
