I need to scratch an itch, and I'm hoping someone here can help me with a couple of things.

Is Grover still alive? Still actively working? He engineered an album my wife did on RCA in Hollywood back in 1971 (she was a teenager at the time), and I've got very limited pictures of the studio when she was in there. For example, I know they used a Neumann M49 on her vocals, but I'm curious about the rest of the chain. For that matter, I'm curious about any details of the old RCA Music Center Of The World studios in Hollywood circa 1971.

Any info anyone can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Phillip,
Yes Grover is still alive and well!! He is a Re-Recording Mixer these days mixing Music on "Jag". He is a great guy and a mighty fine Mixer. E-mail me and I'll give you his contact info. The RCA Stages we're taken over by "Wally Heider Studios" who then sold them to
"Filmways" who then sold them to "Modern Sound" who converted them to Dubbing Rooms. The TV series "Star Trek Next Generation" was mixed there along with "MacGyver". Modern Sound closed down and then the L.A. Film School took them over.Here is a picture of the large room now:

and the other rooms:

I hope this helps!
