LA Studio-help an old guy out

Post by Burnt Ernie » Sun Aug 07, 2022 8:32 am

So I'm trying to remember the name of the recording studio that was Motown Los Angeles before they got the huge space on sunset,or hollywood blvd.
I tech'd for Soul Asylum recording The Horse They Rode In On in 1990 (?),and we tracked most of the record live at A&M with a truck,on Charlie Chaplin's movie/soundstage,until we got kicked out for being too loud,then we went to this other place. It was not a giant building,but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called,and I don't have Jordan's or Blaney's contact info anymore.

"Motown moved into the building in 1973 and the studio was known as “Hitsville West.” "?
