 Record Plant Recording Studios Los Angeles, California - USA Gary Kellgren and Chris Stone founded three recording studios, all referred to as the Record Plant. The Los Angeles Record Plant was opened in 1969, a year after the New York City Report Plant was opened. The Los Angeles studios is the one Queen used to record a majority of The Works. Also of note, the previously unreleased track Let Me In Your Heart Again and Freddie's recordings with Rod Stewart were also taped at this location. |

 Mountain Studios Mountreux, Switzerland In 1975, Mountain Studios was built in the then new Montreux Casino by Tom Hidley. Queen first recorded there in 1978 for their album "Jazz". Queen were impressed with the fascilities and bought the studio for their own use the following year. David Richards, who joined the studio in 1977, went on to produce and engineer many of Queen's albums and their solo efforts. Parts of Jazz, Hot Space, A Kind Of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo, and Made In Heaven were all recorded at the studio. Solo efforts including Back To The Light, Barcelona, Fun In Space, Strange Frontier, Shove It, and Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know were all in part recorded there as well. David Richards took full ownership of the studio in the mid 1990s and moved it to nearby Attalens, Switzerland. Richards owned the studio up until his death in 2013. |
