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

Those Goodnight Vienna photos are great!

I can't find them on the net but there are some amazing photos of the Doors recording their first album at Sunset Sound in the fall of '66. Jim Morrison is drinking milk out the carton in the photos

 

Yep and that EMI logo on the board is splendid!

 

I always loved the picture of John Coltrane with his wife Alice in the background, listening to the playback of the recording of "A Love Supreme" (IIRC, I could be wrong though).

 

Coleman Hawkins, Eric Dolphy and Thelonious Monk in the studio! What a team!





(Monk must have just been visiting; dunno of any recordings featuring him with Dolphy, let alone with Dolphy AND Bean)

 

More Dolphy, during European sessions, 1964

 

Van Halen at Sunset Sound in 1979 recording Van Halen II. Notice Dave's busted foot, which he hurt while doing jumps off a drum riser for the pictures on the back of the album.

 

Sly Stone, CBS Studio, San Francisco, 1976

 

Wow - what a mess!

 

Rudy Van Gelder and Alfred Lion at Van Gelder's Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ

 

Man, this thread is BOSS!!!!

Sonny Stitt, NYC, 1953--wish I coulda been there...

 

Another early Dylan studio classic!

Bob, Victoria Spivey, Len Kunstadt and Big Joe Williams in what appears to be Spivey's studio...

 

A couple of nice Bill Evans pics...

 

Arguably apocryphal, but here's a lovely pic on a tape box I found at a Salvation Army thrift shop last year:

CP MacGregor, Radio Recorders, Capitol Melrose, Capitol Tower (to present). John Palladino came from Radio Recorders. He was one of the first people hired by Capitol when they bought Melrose in (off the top of my head) 1949. John Kraus was hired then too - John P. thinks it was with a day or so of him.

 

Sonny Til and the Orioles recording at Boulevard Studios, Chicago, May, 1956 with Red Holloway,tenor sax and Paul Griffin (same session man who played on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited!) on piano

 

Willie Mitchell, rear, behind the boards in Memphis

 

Tune up! Berry Gordy behind the boards at Hitsville!

 

Max Roach, Herb Geller, Walter Benton, Joe Maini and Clifford Brown, LA, Aug. 1954

 

That is Tony Visconti lurking on the left.

Would that be Olympic Studio B that Visconti described in his book?
