From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon Astley is a British record producer who recorded and released two albums as a singer-songwriter in the late 1980s. His most commercially successful song was "Jane's Getting Serious," later popularized by a Heinz ketchup television commercial.
As a producer, he is best known for his work with The Who (co-production with Glyn Johns of the 1978 Who Are You album, and the remastering supervision for most of the group's '90s back catalog CD reissues). He also has mastered records for George Harrison, Tori Amos and Arms of Kismet.
He is the ex-brother in law of Who guitarist Pete Townshend, as well as the brother of recording artist Virginia Astley, and son of noted composer Ted Astley.
