There was still a considerable amount of work
to be done in the building, but it was decided that the
studio was basically ready and on February 10th 1968, Studio
B had it's first session.
It was a string session for Sussex
Productions, with Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey producing.
From what I remember, things went well but immediately after
the session Milan told me he needed to shut it down
again.
The cue system still needed some work.
Meanwhile the studio had gotten heavily booked, so we had a
lot of re-arranging to do.
I should say a word here about Milan Bogdan. Milan is a
technical wizard, besides being a great recording engineer.
If Milan wasn't happy about something then he would change
it. Definitely a perfectionist. So when you have a
perfectionist working for you, you let him act like a
perfectionist.
A personal note here...in the reviewing of all this
information regarding the building of Studio B it has just
really hit me what we did there in a relatively short period
of time.
We converted a deserted bank building into a
complex recording studio. The amount of work that was done
to
accomplish this blows my mind. Like I said earlier...I had
great people working for me.
