That thing is history, original Helios console, awesome

[georgiethumbs]

Led Zeppelin 4 was recorded on that thing which to me makes it the Holy Grail of recording studios. Before one even thinks of entering it, one should be make to get on their knees and bow to show reverence.

You know you're old when it was Louie Louie, not Smoke on the Water, that you first played on the guitar!

The original chassis and cab was a BMC truck, registration number FMK438J. The whole thing was painted in two-tone olive drab camouflage. In the mid-70's it was £1500 + VAT per week to hire.

This is the console that made me stick to music I was 7, literally, recorded my ever favorite top 3 albums... Didn't know it at that time of course...

They used it for exile on main st when they left the UK and went to the south of France to avoid the massive taxes.

This is astounding! This was for their live gig recordings and spontaneous locations.

Let go of the Machine Head album. Now.
Be excited for all the albums that have been made with the truck, not the ones that will be made.
They will never top any of it.

Zeppelin 4 was recorded with this. One of THE greatest rock albums of all time, not to mention one of the most ground breaking productions at the time. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN WAS DONE ON THIS FFS.

Thats where 2:50 keith had his cocaine so in between recording songs he could relax until they were ready to record again!!!

"What other recording studio has made so many records that touched hundreds of millions of people?". Sound City. See the documentary movie!. Dave Grohl now owns that legendary Neve console.
