The definitive guide to the lost, lamented titans of American recordings studios.

Record Plant. Stax. The Automatt. Caribou Ranch. These and other legendary American recording studios are no longer standing, but their legacies and distinctive sounds live on in countless stories and classic recordings, from Billy Joel to Captain Beefheart, David Bowie to the Pointer Sisters.

Now, for the first time, comprehensive technical details, gear lists, dimensions, and more can be found in The Lost Spaces, architect-turned-producer Richard Adlam's unprecedented guide to the most significant lost studios in the United States. From Atlantic Studios to Universal, Adlam provides painstaking, meticulously reconstructed diagrams and spec sheets accompanied by historical photos, anecdotes, and lists of the key albums and performers recorded in each space. Whether you're an engineer, musician, designer, or all-around music geek, this is a one-of-a-kind resource preserving an essential slice of pop-music history.
