Herb Powers, Jr.  

"By the late 1970's and early 1980's, Powers mastered some of the greatest New York City dance hits of the time - tracks like Run-D.M.C.'s "Rock Box" (Profile 7045), UTFO's "Roxanne, Roxanne" (Select 62254), the Beastie Boys' "Rock Hard" (Def Jam DJ002), and Keith Silverflash's "Funky Space Player" (Silver Flash Funk 21801), among others."--"Herbie Was Here" (1998) by Chuck Miller

"Back then the job entailed converting the music from half-inch tape to vinyl. I started putting my name on the dead wax on the first record, because I wanted to keep track of what I was doing. A lot of times, record companies did not give you credit on the records. It was a way for me to know that I actually mastered that record. It was also a way to tell that the record wasn't a reproduction made by a bootlegger."--"Herbie Was Here" (1998) by Chuck Miller
