The Regent Sounds recording studio on “Tin Pan Alley” in London was famously used by Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones between the 1960s and early 1980s. Now, having been walled up and lain silent for decades, it is being brought back to life through a multimillion-pound investment that will turn it into a landmark site for rock’n’roll, jazz and blues, the Guardian has learned.
Much of the original walls, floor tiles and recording equipment have been preserved from a studio that Pete Townshend, The Who’s guitarist and songwriter, once described as “a massive chunk of rock music history”.
