Talk:Wessex Sound Studios

Untitled
I do not believe this studio was ever owned by George Martin.

Worked at Wessex
I worked at a Wessex studios in late 1969&1970. I remember King Crimson, Moody Blues, Morecambe and Wise, Clodagh Rodgers,Frankie Vaughn, part of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra even golfer Tony Jacklin made a recording there. One of my jobs was to construct a storage rack for 32 track recording tapes so these were certainly available in 1970! Les Reed would turn up regularly at the studios in his Rolls Royce. Converting the Church hall into the studio had been going on for some time before I arrived and it was generally being used at my time there which meant we often had to stop working once recording started. Working at the rear of the building one day and returning to the reception only to find the Moody Blues Roadie in a flap as it seemed the recording mikes were playing up and ruins a recording session! it became clear to me the mikes were so sensitive they picked up me working despite no one could hear my work!! sorry lads I never owned up!!!
