John Wood is an English sound engineer and producer, best known for his work with Fairport Convention, John Martyn, Cat Stevens, Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, the Incredible String Band, Pink Floyd, Nico and Squeeze.
The two formed a partnership, whereby Wood tended to the record's sound, while Boyd looked after its musical direction.
According to Boyd: "professional session musicians regarded the pair of us with curiosity: the normal deference of engineer towards producer didn't seem to apply.
"[1] Wood engineered all three of Nick Drake's albums, and was one of the few people the notoriously withdrawn singer trusted.
"[2] He lives in Aberdeen, Scotland, and remains in the business as an engineer and producer recently producing August Gilde’s debut album ‘A Different Kind’ [2] and The Woolverstones debut album Grey Eyed Dandy.
