Gooseberry Sound Studios

Modest 8-track recording studio in central London active from the 1970's to the early 1990s.
Hiding in a cellar underneath a dental practice in Soho's Chinatown, it opened in the early 70s as an 8-track demo studio, featuring a custom built Richardson desk and an 8-tack Brenell tape machine.
By 1976 the studio had upgraded to 16-track, bringing in the newly released Soundcraft Series 3 desk and an Ampex tape machine.
January 1979 would provide the studio with its biggest recorded commercial success after Gary Numan entered the 16-track for five days to record Tubeway Army's "Replicas" album. It would reach the number one spot as the single "Are Friends Electric" had spent four weeks at the top of the charts.
