When Neil Young was living at his Broken Arrow ranch in NorCal, wouldn’t the studio there be considered a home studio?
If an immensely successful recording artist builds a lavish home studio, is that really a home recording? (To be fair, the OP says, 'recorded at home' so any such recording would qualify for this thread. And not all home studios are lavish anyway.)
Look who's talking ! Do your researches and prove me wrong mate ! Come on Otherwise, I leave you with your sweet illusions
Not sure if I'm remembering right, but at time I can recall hearing that a lot (if not all) of this album was recorded in a band members house (maybe Warren's?)
Sting's album Ten Summoner's Tales was recorded (by Hugh Padgham on a Sony 3348 digital tape machine) in the dining room of his country house in Wiltshire, England. https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/sting-and-hugh-padgham/3116
Danish legend Kim Larsen recorded his last album secretly in his living room with his son and manager playing guitar & keyboards 3 months before he died. The album (called "Songs from the first floor") was released posthumously.
John Mayer's last album: Sob Rock with all its 80s lush production and stuff. Had this song's vocal tracks recorded in his bedroom due to COVID. He loved the take so much he didn't want to take it off.... 16.18 he talks about it.
Does recorded at someone else's home count? Most of Radiohead's OK Computer was recorded at Jane Seymour's home.
Phil Collins - Face Value All the demos were recorded at Old Croft, which is the name for Phil Collins' home in Shalford, Surrey. He recorded progressively as he wrote the songs. These home 8-track demos were transferred to 24-track at the Townhouse studio in London and the Village Recorder in L.A. Significant portions of the album are directly from the original demos that Phil made at home, with all the raw emotion he was experiencing while going through his divorce.
No - it was actually in his parents' back yard toolshed. Also it wasn't a completely home recording. He bought a used professional 4-track machine from a studio that was upgrading to an 8-track setup. He recorded all the instrumental tracks on that 4-track in his parents' toolshed, then he brought his tapes into a professional studio, transferred them to 8-track and recorded all the vocals (lead/backing harmonies) onto the four empty tracks, and the finished tracks were mixed by/with a professional engineer in the studio where he recorded the vocals.
Yep. He said he was partly inspired to do this by his occasional work as Brian Eno's studio drummer in the 70s, as Eno was the first person he ever saw bring in a home recorded tape, transfer it to the studio multitrack and overdub onto it. He also said in his experience (and that of a lot of his musician friends) its always difficult (if not impossible) to better the original demo in terms of feel/emotion/performance. He also said it was nice in that by using his home demos as the basic tracks for the actual album, his album was suddenly half-finished, for the most part (apart from live drums to replace or augment the drum machine on the demos and final polished vocal takes in some cases) needing only the overdubs by other musicians playing the instruments that he couldn't play himself. Here's his original home demo for 'In The Air Tonight' (officially released as a B-Side) which is the same basic version as the one on the album, prior to being overdubbed in a proper studio:
The Band’s second album was recorded in Sammy Davis Jr’s pool house. And let’s not forget The Basement Tapes.
Every Frank Zappa studio album from 1980 on. The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen was his custom home studio.
