(74) GOLDSTAR - THE LUCKY RECORDING STUDIO

The studio we employees of American Music used the most was Goldstar.

Goldstar is legendary today. So many hits had been - and would be - recorded at Goldstar that the studio was considered good luck; about 250 hits by the time I was using the studio. Ritchie Valens had recorded "Donna," and "La Bamba," at Goldstar for Delphi Records.

Goldstar was owned by Stan Ross and Dave Gold and it is known for The Wall of Sound, a recording technique most associated with producer Phil Spector.

Goldstar has their own web site to tell the tale...link to it above!
