What They're Saying

Critics Review

A must have book for anyone interested in recording music. It’s great to read about and see the spaces that so many classic songs were created in. Pre DAW’s , real rooms , real mixing desks , tape machines, microphones and of course people. First class. * Rob Harris, guitarist for Jamiroquai *
Simultaneously a historical musical document, and inspiration to future record makers. I really love seeing where and how classic artists and albums were recorded. * Ken Lewis, 2-Time Grammy-Winning producer and engineer *
This is an amazing book charting the history of these incredible studios. The detail of the studios and equipment is incredible. This is a must have book! * Andy Bradfield, mix engineer *
