'Pathe Pic' recording of Olympic Studios first recording session 1966 starts about 04.40.
There is some interesting detail here, The man at the Ampex 4 track is Dick Swettenham, co-director and founder member of Olympic. He and I designed all the desks at Olympic together, then later marketed as Helios when Dick moved to his own company with Chris Blackwell and Glynn Johns being financially involved (Correct me if I am wrong) The Deck of this machine is in my store. Frank Owen is the assistant, later to run Island Studios for Blackwell. The desk has 24 inputs and contains the modules I have here in my studio. The C12a that Christine LeGrand is singing into is in my mic collection.
