Incidentally, Voyle Gilmore told me that a lot of the Capital Sinatra albums were actually recorded at this same studio, Radio Recorders, because Sinatra preferred it. It was originally built by RCA Victor.
What I heard there changed my entire outlook on recording. I fear we've let the desire to "fix-it" walk all over both the music and the audio quality. |
Thanks, Bob. This is fascinating. Do you know if they videotaped this session and if it can be viewed?
