SH Spotlight Russ Gary recording Creedence at Heider. Beatles, etc. Do you have any favorite pix?

Not 100% sure but I think this is Terry Manning at Ardent in the early 70's with Chris Bell playing on the studio.

 

George Martin at the controls, The Beatles and George Martin take "time for tea" during Sgt. Pepper sessions and recording "Hey Bulldog".

 

Indeed that is a cool pic. Steve, how'd you get so lucky to get a piece of equipment like that?!

 

I love that picture!

Notice those boots on the console...John Simon probably.

 

Some Rolling Stones mixes?

 

John, Paul and Ringo: Practicing the final chord of "A Day in the Life"?

 

That pic of The Band is in the makeshift studio they built in the pool house at the place in the Hollywood Hills they rented from Sammy Davis Jr, right?

 

Who's the shadowy keyboard player to the far left--Larry Fast? You can barely see his outline in the photo...

 

I really like this photo of George Harrison, circa May, 1970 around the time he laid down demos for All Things Must Pass.

 

Here are some shots taken at Western Recorders, Studio 1, 6000 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California on 22nd March 1967 - this was the Everly Brothers session that produced "I Don't Want To Love You" and "Bowling Green".

Phil Everly and Hal Blaine:




Hal's little home from home - complete with a TV set :



Everyone glued to Hal's TV!:



I looked up the date (3/22/67) and that was the evening of Muhammad Ali's fight with Zora Folley to defend his world title. Watch the whole fight in real-time just like it seems they did at Western Recorders that evening:

Now stick on "I Don't Want To Love You" and "Bowling Green" to hear them in a completely new light.....

 

His filing system is impeccable!

 

Here's a pre-NRBQ "Big" Al Anderson ca. his Wildweeds days.

 

Thanks Russ! I guess it's obvious that I'm a child of the 80s, thinking the pan pots would control track bussing

 

Capitol A - November 22, 1961

 

Another one of Nat. Capitol A - at a recording session for Love is the Thing, December 1956.

BTW - Great thread we have here!!

Here are 2 pix from Ronnie Lane's Mobile. I think that's a custom Helios desk in there. Sweet!!!

Keep 'em coming. This may end up as one of the threads of the year!

 

Believe this to be a Bee Gees session or mixing for a Bee Gees recording. Anyway it's Brian Caroll, John Pantry and someone else at IBC:
