I worked in Trident Studios, not in the early 70s, in the late 70s, but I met and talked with people who were there during the Bowie, Queen, Elton, Derrick and Clive days... still Bowie fans from all over the world were knocking on the studio door, wanting to see inside, or get a glimpse of the famous Beckstein. Quite often we (the staff) would get asked by bootleggers if we’d sell outtakes (or even copy masters) stored in the library...
Hi Nic, thanks for that - that's really interesting. I guess you can argue the toss over the most famous album recorded there, but Bowie is surely in the top three artists in terms of fame (Fame!)
