Notes

The audio engineering references for Mike D. Stone of the Record Plant recording studio in Los Angeles, California often get confused and mixed with the references of Mike Stone (record producer) of the United Kingdom who worked at Abbey Road Studios and engineered for Queen, Genesis, Asia. And their references sometimes are confused with Mike "Clay" Stone of Clay Records's who worked with largely punk and metal acts in the UK.
