Post by: Jules on October 14, 2008, 03:53:09 PM

This is the place where the first Dire Straits record was recorded, with Muff Winwood as producer

It changed his name to Island Studios (Led Zeppelin recorded Stairway to heaven there...) and nowadays is known as "Sarm West Studio"

Its quite easy walking by Portobello Road, take a look to google maps http://maps.google.es/maps?q=basing+street+10,+london&ie=UTF8&ll=51.516728,-0.205382&spn=0.002757,0.006909&t=h&z=17 (http://maps.google.es/maps?q=basing+street+10,+london&ie=UTF8&ll=51.516728,-0.205382&spn=0.002757,0.006909&t=h&z=17)

Its quite magic when you go walking with Sultans of swing in your mp3...
