SUBJECTLet It Bleed

Who produced Let It Bleed and what was his approach?

Producer Jimmy Miller, who had also worked on Beggars Banquet, adopted an unconventional approach. He recorded at Olympic Studios in London using a Helios mixing console, an out-of-tune piano, and captured the raw sound of the room rather than polishing it. Charlie Watts’s minimalist drumming style — refusing to play any fill he didn’t absolutely need — defined the album’s rhythmic feel.
