One of my favorite of all time.

Listen to the remastered edition ! Please !

Incubus- Morning View.

Something amazingly unshined, unmolested about the sound of that record.. really adds to the character and mood.

Ween, The Pod.

Peter Gabriel, So.

.

Robyn Hitchcock's Respect was recorded in his house by John Leckie...as I learned by asking John Leckie right here on Gearslutz. Really nice album, that one. But I guess I love The Basement Tapes and Music From Big Pink quite a bit more.

Paul McCartney - RAM
Elvis Presley - Moody Blue / From EP Boulevard Memphis Tenn.

I believe Ram was recorded mostly in New York...

Downward Spiral.

recorded in the Tate house, made famous by the Manson family. definitely not a commercial studio...

Seems to me I remember something about some guy (and his wife, Mary) recording some stuff at home (and on the road) back in the day.

I think they even named a guitar after the guy.

Gibson, (..something... ) ? ? ?



(Its right on the tip of my tongue...)

Failure -"Fantastic Planet" was recorded in a house i believe. the drums sound so damn cool on that record.

What was the story with Paul recording an album with one u87 in a Scottish farm house? Wasn't that RAM?

Moby Grape: 20 Granite Creek

How about this... list your favorite records - "not recorded in a house of any kind, all takes done outdoors"

+1 EXILE - the house jam record of all time. On one track you can hear bacon frying in the kitchen in the background

Does Abbey Road qualify as a house?

We have recorded about 75 albums in our living room - kitchen, about 25 releases on Frogville records and the rest for independent local acts.

I bet there are hundreds of great albums recorded in homes. We get a great sound here at our home studio, although nothing for any majors and also nothing that had a budget for promotion and marketing, which is maybe why nothing big has come from here YET!

I can name 25 bands you never heard of, but we have had blues legend Taj Mahal here, singer Shannon Mcnally, country fiddler Johnny Gimbal (bob wills texas playboys), actors Val Kilmer and Gary Farmer have recorded music here too.

we decided to expand, building more studio space surrounding the original house.

people get relaxed in a living room environment, feel comfy = best performance.

I hope not to loose that vibe in the expansion.heh

Given my choice of a relaxed studio in a house or a pro studio I'd take the house hands down.
No booked time.Don't have to leave.Nobody else coming in.Work when I (we) want.
Something cool about standing in an old kitchen and singing to cupboards.

Songs From Big Pink was not recorded in a house. The second "Brown" album was recorded in Sammy Davis Jr's pool house in LA.

I think people get confused with the Basement tapes, which actually were recorded in the basement in Saugerties, NY before the release of Big Pink.

I would love to see pics of that living room.
Your new one looks great....

.... back to topic...

all Buddy Miller records.....

... How High The ...

...Wait...

... It's coming to me! ...

Some of the songs off Paul`s "McCartney" album were recorded at home then finished at Abbey Road. But, it was "McCartney II" that was mostly(if not completely) recorded at home. Paul just plugged the microphone into the back of a Studer 16-track tape machine; not using a mixing console to track.


McCartney II is one of my favorite "at home" recorded albums. It has such a unique sound and is probably vastly underrated.

I'd have to say Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago.
I believe that was recorded up in his fathers cabin in Wisconsin if I'm not mistaken.
