Timeline

1610

The Canberra Times' Virginia Cook felt, "[it] testifies to the successful marriage of soul and synthesiser, a marriage helped along by the expertise of producer, [Allan]... with the use of every synthesiser the production team could think of. Allan and Tim Kramer mixed the album using the Sony 1610 digital mastering system which, Smith said, gave his album a 'clean sound'."

1955

Cameron Beck Allan (July 9, 1955 – June 25, 2013) was an Australian-born American-based composer, record producer, filmmaker and former label owner.

Cameron Beck Allan was born on July 9, 1955, in Melbourne but grew up in Sydney with a younger brother, Richard.

He attended Meadowbank Boys High School and then the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

While at the conservatorium he became a member of David Ahern's AZ Music ensemble, which included fellow composers Alan Holley, Robert Irving and Carl Vine.

1973

In July 1973 Allan published a classical music composition, Madrigal for String Orchestra, for a four-piece ensemble: violin, viola, cello and double bass.

1974

During 1974 he provided the music arrangements for three episodes of the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) TV series Ten Australians, covering Fred Williams, Michael Taylor, and Ron Robertson-Swann.

1978

In September 1978 he co-founded the record label Regular Records with fellow filmmaker Martin Fabinyi.

Their first signing was the new wave group Mental As Anything, and their second was the pub rock band Flowers.

Allan produced both groups' early work.

By 1978 Allan had turned to filmmaking and teamed up with Martin Fabinyi to finance a film project, The Lipstick Killers.

To raise money they formed an independent label, Regular Records, in September of that year.

The first artists they signed to the label was Mental As Anything, a Sydney-based new wave music group.

Allan produced their debut three-track extended play, Mental As Anything Plays at Your Party (December 1978).Australian Rock Database entries:

According to Fabinyi, "We had no experience in the record business. This didn't faze Cameron. He was obsessively optimistic once he committed to a project. A friend at EMI gave us some time to record the band while Cameron simultaneously learnt how to work the equipment."

1979

Allan also produced Mental As Anything's first two full-length studio albums, Get Wet (November 1979) and Espresso Bongo (July 1980).

Luis Feliu of The Canberra Times described how Get Wet "was recorded in Sydney and mixed in London by Cameron Allan, the band's producer, who did a great job. I couldn't pick a bad track on Get Wet and there's 14 of them."

1980

His TV and film music compositions include Stir (1980), The Umbrella Woman (1987, a.k.a. The Good Wife) Kojak: Ariana (1989), and Kojak: Flowers for Matty (1990).

Regular Records' second signing was the pub rock band Flowers (later renamed Icehouse); Allan co-produced their debut album, Icehouse (October 1980) with the group's leader, Iva Davies.

At the TV Week / Countdown Music Awards for 1980 Allan was nominated for Best Australian Producer but lost out to Mark Opitz.

Allan was the music director for the feature film Stir; at the AFI Awards of 1980 his work was nominated for Best Original Music Score, but he lost to Peter Sculthorpe.

Allan produced the Sports' fourth studio album, Sondra, after their previous two were produced by Peter Solley.

According to their guitarist, Martin Armiger, "Solley was an international producer, who jetted in, and there was always a deadline of three or four weeks. In that situation you can't walk out or have a big argument; there isn't time. With Cameron, we knew we could badger him to get what we wanted, if need be. We had more time to get the sound we wanted."
