Does anyone know approximately when Hitsville in L.A. opened? I'm guessing around 1971. I know that the Jackson 5 recorded their early Motown material at the Sound Factory on Selma in West Hollywood and Marvin Gaye did some vocal overdubs there for the "What's Going On" LP. The earlier L.A. sessions are a little hard to pinpoint, although some '60s stuff was done at Armin Steiner's Sound Recorders. Mickey Gentile produced a lot of Motown's '60s New York stuff, I believe at Bell Sound.
