Pictures of John Barrett in Kate Bush documentary?

[therowdyman]

I've yet to be able to find an image of engineer John Barrett online.

I did find this image from a 1980 German documentary on Kate Bush. Barrett worked with Bush on the "December Will Be Magic Again" single, "Never For Ever" and "The Dreaming".



Judging by other photos of Kate and Abbey Road Studios at the time, this was filmed during the "Never For Ever" sessions (despite "Coffee Homeground" from Lionheart being played over the footage). The footage is super brief at around 36:20 mins



Can anyone confirm if any of these guys are John Barrett?

I too would love to know, as I can't find any photos of him whatsoever. I may have to ask some people. Maybe Lewisohn?

Surely, SOMEBODY has to have a photo or two of him. It would be nice to put a face to the name after all these years....

I didn't know that either.

I'm still looking. Surly there's a photo out there.

Have we been spelling his name wrong all these years? John's credit on the LP sleeve to Kate Bush's Never For Ever is John Barratt with an "a".

Again, here:

A book on Abbey Road that talks about John, his fight with cancer and cataloguing the tapes. Spelt with an "a"
