I believe most of Queen’s Night at the Opera was recorded at Rockfield. Their first three albums were recorded at Trident and I would love to have heard Bohemian Rhapsody played on Trident’s famous Bechstein piano. Hey Jude, Elton John’s early collections and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust were all recorded on that one piano. Trident was the first to use an 8 track board. As a side note The Beatles never recorded at Abbey Road. It was EMI during their sessions. EMI changed the name to Abbey Road in the mid seventies if memory serves me correct.

I think all of the RCA Studios… Nashville, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and Montreal were instrumental in recording studio’s history.
CTS studios in London was an amazing studio as well, I recorded Roger Whittaker with an orchestra there in the 80’s and it was one of the finest and quietest sounding rooms I have ever been in.

I would hasten to mention Rudy Van Gelder’s studio(s) in Hackensack and Englewood, N.J. Amazing depth, astonishing clarity, fantastic fidelity: definitive and distinctive. His recordings sold millions of records, and many millions of hi-fi stereo upgrades around the world!

MORGAN STUDIOS, LONDON

Morgan Studios, also known as Morgan Sound Studios, were recording studios at 169–171 High Road, Willesden in north-west London, originally owned by Barry Morgan (1944–2007), drummer for Blue Mink, CCS and other bands.

The studios, which had both a Steinway piano and a Hammond organ, were notable as the venue for recordings by some of the most notable British bands of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Ten Years After, Arrows, Yes, The Kinks, Donovan, Vivian Stanshall, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Greenslade, Joan Armatrading, Cat Stevens, Paul McCartney, Jethro Tull, Rod Stewart, Black Sabbath, UFO and The Cure. Parts of Alice Cooper’s number one album Billion Dollar Babies were recorded here in 1972.[1] The studios were also notable for having the first 24-track tape machine in England, made by Ampex.[2

In reply to Alex Rainger. Needless to say not only Hendrix but probably the Stones too recorded most of their output there.

Yes, Olympic Studios in Barnes, London, should obviously be here. Easily as historic as any British recording studio including Abbey Road, but still often vastly under-noticed because EMI couldn’t market the word “Olympic” without legal issues.
