BillWelcome Home Studios Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I was fortunate that my pal Lynn Fuston had his camera.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/elgirlsroom.jpg is the ladies room, famous from a Cactus poster many years ago.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/elaracks.jpg some of the outboard stuff, which includes rack modules from their old Focusrite console... I have some modules from a DataMix console which I am racking now. Datamix was the company that only built a handful of consoles and went out of business after putting in the original EL console in Studio A and putting in the pieces (not wired or complete) in Studio B. They went belly-up during the building of EL. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/elstudioa.jpg Here's the Studio A back wall. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/mecouch.jpg The couch in the lounge.... one can but imagine.... hmmm, do I realy want to SIT on this thingg... uhhh.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/elbb3.jpg A B-3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/elassl.jpg the purple SSL http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/BillPark/eddieexpresses.jpg The irrepressable EK expresses himself.... The lowdown?? It was fun. You can't help but to feel a sense of history there. And the old amps and keys and mics and stuff, and the place is much as it was originally, though the B studio has been rebuilt and of course, the gear has changed. What is funny is that today, no one would build a studio like that... it defys conventional logic. Wanna look over a list of the great albums recorded there? This is also a tribute to the abilities of the great engineers who worked at Electric Ladyland. It was nice to put faces to some of these engineers with whom I had been communicating over the internet for more than 15 years, too. I had met Eddie Krammer (along with Billy Cox) via Joel at Lexicon quite a few years ago, and have bumped into him at various trade shows over the years. I would never have asked him about those times, but here was a situation where reminiscing was appropriate. So the stories flowed.... and thanks are due to the people at SPARS, who sponsored the evening, and Lynn, who DMA.
