But, the sound?
I think that was more Bob Welch. Martin Birch was the coproducer, but his work with Iron Maiden, Rainbow, & Whitesnake don't reflect that soft, boxy drum sounds.
I didn't care for Welch as a producer. His best stuff was produced by someone else. Sentimental Lady was produced by Lindsay Buckingham, after the record company rejected the version Welch produced. So, it's not just me.
He was doing a LOT of drugs in those days. Probably negatively affected his ear & judgment.
