He moved on to CTS Studios in Wembley, mastering releases for Bear Family Records a. o. and confirming his reputation for quality. RCA also utilized Bob's skills in mastering on numerous Elvis releases, including the first two volumes of 'The Essential Elvis', with his contribution acknowledged on the album sleeves.
After CTS, Bob was asked by Ace boss Ted Carroll to become a founding member of Sound Mastering.
