Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio, also known as LMS, was a mobile recording studio owned by Ronnie Lane.
Lane acquired the studio in 1972. It was one of the first ever mobile recording studios, and consisted of a 16 track studio housed in a 26' Airstream trailer.
After he left The Faces in 1973, Lane based the studio on his farm, Fishpool, in the hamlet of Hyssington, near Churchstoke, in Powys, Wales. There he used the studio to record his first solo album Anymore for Anymore (1974). He also used the studio to record One for the Road (1976). An image of the mobile recording studio is featured on the album cover of One for the Road.
In addition to using the studio himself, Lane leased it to numerous other artists for their own recordings, including:
- Eric Clapton, Rainbow Concert (1973)
- The Who: Quadrophenia (1973) and The Who By Numbers (1975)
