Sunset Sound Recorders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunset Sound Recorders is a legendary recording studio in Hollywood, California, located at 6650 Sunset Boulevard.
The Sunset Sound Recorders complex was converted in 1962 by Walt Disney's Director of Recording, Tutti Camarata, from a collection of old commercial and residential buildings - some built more than 80 years ago. Camarata actually started the recording studio at the encouragement of Disney himself, and soon, the audio for many of Disney's early films were being recorded at the studio, including Bambi, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins, and 101 Dalmatians.
Over 200 gold records have been recorded at Sunset Sound, including albums by the Beach Boys (including the landmark Pet Sounds album), the Rolling Stones with the legendary Exile on Main Street album, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, and Alanis Morissette. Other artists that have used the studio include Ringo Starr (1972 solo album), Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sam Phillips, Van Halen, Randy Stonehill, James Taylor, Bread, Randy Newman, Bread, Tom Petty, Sam Cooke, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Deborah Harry, Janis Joplin, Tom Jones, Bob Dylan, Alice Cooper, Beck, Elliott Smith, Dixie Chicks and others.
