Vic Coppersmith-Heaven (born Victor Smith, August 1945, England)[1] is an English sound engineer and record producer, best known for his production work with the Jam.
Two of their recordings, "Overture to the Sun" and "Lighthouse Keeper", later emerged in re-recorded form on the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's film, A Clockwork Orange.
[6] The Vapors track, "Turning Japanese", was produced by Coppersmith-Heaven and reached the top three on the UK Singles Chart, at the same time that the Jam's "Going Underground" was at number one.
A year later, he produced a single for the Kent-based indie band the Claim, entitled "Wait and See", at ex-Jam drummer Rick Buckler's studio.
In 2008, Coppersmith-Heaven produced four tracks for The Q's debut EP Issues, which was released as a limited edition vinyl on Time for Action Records on 20 November.
