Biography

Ben-Zion Glatzer was born on 8 October 1959 in Subiaco. He grew up with his father, Willy (Bill) Glatzer (born 19 December 1927, Poland),[2] a Holocaust survivor and furniture business operator, his mother, Leah Freidman, and his older sister, Hanya Glatzer (later Moschner). Glatzer grew up in the northern suburbs of Perth, he attended Carmel Primary School and Mount Lawley High School. After graduating in 1976 he was accepted into the Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE), where he followed Hanya into an education course. By 1977 he obtained a deferral from further studies and became a factory hand in his family's business.

In April 1977 Glatzer began pursuing a career in music initially as a drummer and as a technical sound engineer. Glatzer's early work was as a live audio engineer for various musical artists including local, interstate and international acts. In 1979 he founded a related sound system and truck hire company, Glatzer Concert Tours. In 1990 he worked at Pet Rock Studios as a record producer and engineer.

In April 1991 Glatzer established the Revolver Sound Studio, where he remained the manager, principal audio engineer and record producer until his partial retirement in May 2006. In mid-2002, Glatzer began production for the rock group, Spencer Tracy's debut self-titled album. Glatzer urged their lead guitarist and vocalist, Lee Jones, to continue his career in rock music when Jones was tempted by an offer to become a classical music pianist.[3] Jones remained with the band and the album was issued in 2003 on Embryo Records.[3] [4]
