The Great British Recording Studios tells the story of the iconic British facili
ties where many of the most important recordings of all time were made. The firs
t comprehensive account of British recording studios ever published, it was writ
ten with the cooperation of the British APRS (Association of Professional Record
ing Services, headed by Sir George Martin) to document the history of the major
British studios of the 1960s and 1970s and to help preserve their legacy. Each c
hapter focuses on a different studio (including Abbey Road, Olympic, and Trident
), with complete descriptions of the studio's physical facilities and layout, al
ong with listings of equipment and key personnel, as well as details about its b
est-known technical innovations and a discography of the major recordings done t
here.
