Gordon Raphael on The Libertines:

"The Libertines offered me to produce their first album. They asked me and I was very emboldened with the idea, because they were great at that time, at the beginning of 2002. They were like the Beatles in their early years, their harmonies were very good. For some reason that I don't know, in the middle of the process they told me that the label did not want the record to be made by me and they ended up recording with Mick Jones. They never told me why and that left me heartbroken. I also did not expect what happened next, that drugs and alcohol were going to destroy that band before they had the chance to become big. I was recording Room on Fire with The Strokes and I suddenly found out that Pete Doherty was in jail for stealing from Carl Barât's house. I always thought that the story was going to be different, that their music was going to transcend and that I was going to be part of that." (x)

“Julian is all about getting the tones right,” explains Raphael. “He’ll say, ‘Oh Gordon, the hi-hat and the guitar sound like they’re each dancing in different rooms.’ Or, ‘Why does the entire drum set seem like a rich man except for the hi-hat who’s completely out of work?’ Or sometimes he’ll just look at me and say, (withering face) ‘This sounds awful! This is terrible! What are we going to do!’ It’s a process of working things towards their destination.”
