At 10:30pm on 8 December 1980, John Lennon and Yoko Ono left the Record Plant studio, a 10th floor facility at 321 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan.
The studio was renowned for having an unfinished room with high ceilings, which many bands used for rehearsals. But it was best known as the studio where Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concluded the recording and mixing of the 1975 album Born To Run.
