    Sound City. Many of the great albums recorded there back in the 'all analogue' days. Good documentary of the same name exists too exploring the studios history.

    Also i hear Abbey Road might have some historical significance.

    So sad Jimi got to use it as little as he did!
    Launch party was August 26 1970 & Hendrix passed away the next month.

    Was fearing his work would fade away.
    However, like his music, the studio lives on!!
    Major acts for decades took advantage of Jimi's insight. Was always great to see the 'Lady' credited on albums.

    When "West Coast Seattle Boy" was released [finally], made CD-R's of recording from four studios; Olympic & 'Lady' were my faves. Olympic for tunes & 'Lady' for sound.

    Bob Dylan ~ Personal studio on 124 W. Houston St. NYC- this unmarked recording studio was around the block from his McDougal St. home at the time ..
    late 60's early 70's, this is where 149 personal owned, and used acetates left by Bob were found in an upstairs loft when the owner passed away two years ago... they had set in box in a closet for 40 years untouched. (first green door on the left).

    Grohl did a great job w/the doc & he saved the board!!
    Wish he would have just taken over the space; just he was already building his own studio.

    From what I've heard about it, Syncro Sound in Boston was pretty cool when The Cars christened and refurbished it.

    Thanks for posting the link. I'm on my phone so it's a PITA.

    I agree, it's a shame the board was moved instead of buying the space. What a job though! Talk about spaghetti. How they ever reassembled it in working order boggles the mind. Great job by the techs.

    Absolutely, and when your in those studio rooms and the producers/engineers box area... it is unbelievable to think of the songs that came out of this old place.

    RCA Building, one street over from Studio B. The interior shot is Studio A in this building, opened in 1965. The building was almost torn down, but was saved by a group of preservationist investors. Producer Dave Cobb is now operating the studio & office spaces are also rented out in the building.

    Chess Records studio and the address immortalized by the Rolling Stones instrumental recorded here. Took this and then toured the building, very cool to visit, think of what was recorded here! Displays inside tell the stories.
