Formerly Bradley's Barn studios in 1963.

Engineers at the studio included:
- Lou Bradley [LB],
- Charlie Bragg [CB],
- Selby Coffeen,
- Ronnie Dean,
- M.C. Rather,

- Jerry Watson [JMW].

The studio was also known for custom mastering jobs for a host of labels including Stax (the last-named, in the 1968-69 period). Such lacquers were designated by the following codes (with 'B' signifying the old Bradley Recording Studios nomenclature):
- 12" 33⅓ RPM: XTBV (mono), XSBV (stereo, pre-c.1971), XSY (post-c.1971)
- 7" 33⅓ RPM: ZTBV (mono), ZSBV (stereo)

The studios closed on June 30, 1982 and were then converted to office space. In recent years the space has become a hands-on educational facility for Belmont University.
