I did some recording in the studio around 1982 to 1983 I’m very in getting a copy of my music, yes I’m willing to pay for it. 210 887 6889
I remember “Talk Talk” by The Music Machine on Original Sound Records. So I’m given to assume it was recorded here. I always thought about that record every time I drove by.
I remember the Chi-Lites had a big hit with “My Wedding Cake Tipped Over!” It was recorded here in one take in 1966. The song was 40 minutes long so they had to edit it down to 2:45, which was neither easy nor pleasant. Man, u never heard such vapid, empty-headed rock n’ roll in your life. My God, it was EXCRUCIATINGLY EGREGIOUS!!
