An occasional music spot - remembering places around the World



Not had one of these in awhile ... 
The not terribly exciting photo is of the entrance to a famous location. Chelsea Manor Studios, Flood Street - just off the King's Road, were I worked between 1973 and 1975 in Studio 3. 
We were at the end of a ground floor corridor sharing part of a photographer's studio space. As a source of music we had an Eight Track cartridge player. Anyone remembering these will know of the limitations and how tracks often changed mid song with a significant 'clunk' (not a 'click' as advertised) and the tape length sometimes meant a song had to be edited to make it fit on. 
We didn't have that many tapes to play, but one I do remember from this time was Paul McCartney's Ram LP, and this song in particular 'Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey' > 


Coincidently I would later discover that in March 1967 in the studio next door, at No.4, Paul McCartney and the other Beatles were photographed by Michael Cooper for the cover of 'Sgt Pepper's': (for full story, click here).
