| Well, if true, this is very sad indeed.
The Townhouse was founded by Richard Branson in the late 70's after all the money he made with Oldfield's "Tubular Bells". It is (was?) one of the world greatest studio complexes, boasting a wealth of history. Every single artist from the who's who list of the last 3 decades has recorded something there. A billion Hits came from its rooms. A creme de la creme studio with exceptional variable acoustics.
I had the photo of Studio 1 control room (cover of Mix in october 1995, the first Mix mag I ever bought) as wallpaper in my computer for a couple of years, while I was a project manager in some IT department some time ago, dreaming of building some day a room EXACTLY like that one, just to LIVE THERE actually. So cozy it was. And still is.
I got the big pic from someone at SSL. First thing every morning at the office was to stare at this picture for a couple of minutes.
So, can I buy the room now? |
