Mickeyboro Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Went past it a few months ago. Morin Heights is the proverbial middle of nowhere - I can understand why some bands (e.g. Asia) went stir crazy and fell out with each other, especially when snowed in!

Skybone Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 It would be very cool to have it back in action though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 I have a friend who lives in Toronto and his Dad views the winter as a opportunity to do Canadian stuff outside even getting snowed in is seen as a bonus, My friend (His son ) and a lot of the young views it as a PITA.

taunton-hobbit Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Meanwhile, closer to home : I knew this studio when it was at Maple Cross (even recorded a demo there) - Google Jackson Studios, it's an interesting read (apologies for hijack......) [b] Jackson Studios Revisited[/b] This pile of bricks is Jackson Studios, the birthplace of many iconic British sounds. We want to bring it back to life here at Chiltern Open Air Museum so that music fans, children and in fact everyone, can enjoy a trip down musical memory lane. The studio was used by Jack Jackson known as the ‘Father of DJs’ who made television and radio programmes for the BBC in the 1950s. It was then used by iconic recording artists Motorhead for the Ace of Spades, Elton John’s earliest recordings, Dr Feelgood, Eddie and the Hotrods, Ian Dury, Tom Robinson and many more. Chiltern Open Air Museum is seeking to rebuild this unique piece of history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Back to Le Studio, I recall seeing video of one of Rush walking around the place as it is now, all the while flashbacks to whatever video it was they shot there. Sorry about being vague... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link I saw it on was Rickenbacker FB page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The curse of The Police - they recorded Ghost in the Machine at this place and Air Monserrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
