Biography

Swedish mastering engineer, born on June 20, 1958 in Järfälla.
Chief mastering engineer and owner of The i Stockholm AB. Also worked at.
He signs his work by etching BE or B.E. or B.E. CHILL into the runouts. Please credit with Lacquer Cut By and the appropriate ANV.
The signature is often accompanied by CR or C.R. or POLAR, which refers to the studios and should not be entered as part of the ANV.
For the untrained eye, the scribe is often difficult to decipher, see the different examples in the images, e.g. here (opens in a new tab). It's easily misread as TLR, TLK, TLC or TKA.
