As a matter of fact, I once checked the LP record, but 
I could not find engineers credited.  Every other GG disc of that era
has no credits except its producer.
I also checked the label copy (Sony showed me), but no credit.

Yes, indeed.  At the GGGathering there is an exhibition of 
Don Hunstein photos.  I hope I will be able to meet him.

Anyway, tell me check the terminology of the staff:

producer.

recording engineer?

engineer?  mixer?  

>  D.  a man behind "Fred" who massaged "Fred'"s shoulder

assistant engineer

Thank you in advance.
