Stuart Epps is a British record producer and recording engineer whose career spans more than five decades, closely intertwined with the development of modern rock and pop recording in the UK.

Epps built an extensive and varied résumé. He worked with Led Zeppelin and also Elton John during the early 1970s, contributing to sessions at a crucial point in the singer’s rise to international stardom. Over the years, his credits expanded to include artists such as Oasis, Robbie Williams, George Harrison, Twisted Sister, and Chris Rea, demonstrating his adaptability across genres from hard rock to mainstream pop.

In later decades, Epps became known not only as a producer but also as a mentor and educator. He has lectured widely on music production, sharing firsthand insights into analog recording techniques, studio culture, and the evolving relationship between technology and creativity. His reflections on the classic era of British recording have made him a valuable historical witness to changes in the industry.

Stuart Epps’s significance lies less in cultivating a single “signature sound” than in his longevity, versatility, and proximity to pivotal moments in recording history. His career offers a continuous thread linking the golden age of analog rock production with contemporary studio practice.

The British Music Vault, collaboration with The Rock History project.

We are extremely proud of this project in tribute to the memory of Mark Rye, founder of RockHistory.co.uk

In 2003 Mark started the Rock History project, when the death of Pink Floyd’s manager Steve O’Rourke made him realise that memories from the golden age of British music were disappearing.

Rock History is a social and music history storytelling project created by Mark Rye, devoted to collecting the stories and anecdotes about all those fabulous British bands and the business, from the birth of Skiffle and Rock’n’Roll through to the 1990s.

Sadly Mark Rye passed away in 2018 and his family have been exploring ways to make the full archive accessible to all, a fitting legacy to this important project which Mark spent the last 10 years of his life pursuing.

The British Music Vault will work in partnership with Mark’s family to preserve and present ‘The Mark Rye Archives’, as a dedicated channel, within the British Music Vault. Over time the full interviews recorded by Mark, (circa 300) will be available to all, for free, for research, for generations to come.
