I kinda got to this thread because I was looking for AKG C24 pix - I've worked on three so far this year. All the "speculation" on the Bearsville property took me back in time.

I was the chief engineer at bearsville during the summer of '78, a short-lived roller-coaster ride that was full of bull**** politics enhanced by the heavy consumption of pharmaceuticals. Not that I didn't partake, but never to the extent of those around me. (I was a cheap date then.)
That said, to be working at a studio I had admired from afar (Bonnie Raitt's GIVE IT UP album) as well as being a Todd Rundgren and "Big Pink" fan, it was otherwise heaven. It was only the B room then, A was just a shell and Turtle Creek was a rehearsal space that was being used by Eddy Offord, who had just finished recording David Sancious and his band "Tone."
Immediately after B-ville, I went to work for Offord who was by then working out of Levon Helm's house (the one that burned down). I recorded Jack Dejohnette there.
So, what did happen to all the B-ville properties?
