Motown los angeles studio info

[dvdmike]

I sent an e-mail to AF of M, Local 47 in Los Angeles and they responded rather quickly. They can send me a list of Los Angeles studios that Motown used between 1963 and 1975 or copies of the actual contracts for the sessions. There is a charge for this, but it might be worth it.

Keep your money in your pocket until I talk to Russ, Mike. He may know all the studios used since he was doing sessions at them for Motown.

OK, thanks Ralph.

Thanks for posting this list dvdmike.

Much appreciated.

I wonder if one could establish a timeline for the studios Motown used before they moved completely to L.A.

Cheers
