The recording studio famously features on the cover of Oasis’ smash-hit single Supersonic (pictured on the left). You can still see the wooden cartwheel door (16ft high) that featured on the single-cover.
Oasis booked this space to record their debut album, “Definitely Maybe” in autumn 1993. Though the group didn’t use the material laid down there in the finished album, it’s where photographer Michael Spencer Jones captured the iconic image that announced Oasis’ arrival in the charts.
Discussing the shooting of the cover picture, Spencer Jones told Stop Crying Your Heart Out: ‘The idea was to have a cluttered studio environment with amps and cables strewn everywhere.
‘Liam was only 21 at the time and already looked like a fully-formed rock star, so I decided to have him at the front of the shot. I thought it would be a nice twist if I had my tungsten lights in view, the idea being to put Oasis firmly in the “spotlight” for their debut single.’
Supersonic was released in April 1994, the band having written and recorded the track in just one day at Liverpool’s The Pink Museum.
The walls are adorned with frames of photographs of Oasis, including one that shows the Gallagher brothers during a recording session.
