MILESAGO - Producers & Engineers

Pat Aulton

It's safe to say that, in our 'target' period of 1964-75, Pat Aulton was Australia's top producer. Through his association with the Spin, Sunshine and Festival labels, Pat produced many of the most successful and important singles and albums of the period.

His amazing CV includes all Normie Rowe's pre-1967 releases including his classic double A-side smash Shakin' All Over / Que Sera Sera, Kahvas Jute's Wide Open LP and early singles by Sherbet, to name just a few.

Pat has also had a very successful career writing and producing advertising jingles and TV themes. Among his famous creations are the theme for the ABC's long-running current affairs show THIS DAY TONIGHT, TAA's early-70s "Up Up and Away" jingle, the ALP's indelible It's Time theme song (probably the most successful political campaign song in history), and the perennial "Singapore Girl" jingle for Singapore Airlines (created in 1972 and in use ever since).
