Beach Boys Studio
Beach Boys Studio, also known as Brother Recording Studio, was a private recording studio located within the home of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson at 10452 Bellagio Road, Los Angeles, California. Built in 1967, a number of the band's albums were recorded there in addition to his "Bedroom Tapes". Because the other Beach Boys took much of the recording equipment with them when they left for concert tours, Wilson was not typically allowed to use the studio unless the band was present. In 1972, the studio was dismantled and later succeeded by Brother Studios in Santa Monica, California.
Recording capabilities at Brian Wilson's Los Angeles residence were made possible by The Beach Boys and Stephen Desper in the midst of recording Smiley Smile in mid-1967. For the first few months of operation, the makeshift studio was installed with a Gates Dualux radio broadcasting console as the quick recording of Smiley Smile didn't allow enough time to acquire a conventional mixing board. By the recording of Friends in early 1968, the studio continued to use the Dualux console yet the rest of the chauffeur's quarters had been converted to feature a more permanent set-up. In October 1969 the console was upgraded to a 16-track recorder with quadraphonic capability. From 1967 until its dismantling in late 1972 by Marilyn Wilson, the studio recorded a mix of artists with personal ties to the Beach Boys including American Spring, The Flames, Stephen Kalinich and Charles Manson.
