XTC Back Porch

Jeff Truzzi · Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 5:57 am Post subject: Recording Locations

Every XTC album was recorded in England,
with the exceptions of "Skylarking" & "Oranges & Lemons"
which were recorded in Bearsville NY, San Francisco & LA.

Correct?

I'm asking. Is that correct?

(there is no place to ask this question on the APE forum)

Actually Al....The Chapel Lane Studios...yes still there!
Are 4 miles down the road from me here in glorious HEREFORDSHIRE....( about 200 miles from Hertfordshire!)
And the Rockfield Studios in Monmouth are about 25 miles south west of us where they mixed Wasp Star ...and possibly also Apple Venus....so strictly speaking WALES!!

Ahah - sorry, Tiny - Herefordshire it is! Smile

Aye, of course - Rockfield is in Welsh Wales, sure enough - wasn't Nonsuch mixed at Rockfield as well?

Great to hear that Chapel Lane is still there - I'm off to Google ot now! Smile
