[1] Through the 1980s, many artists recorded at Odyssey Studios, including Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, George Michael, Spandau Ballet and Roger Daltrey.

Studio One in Odyssey was 1,400 square feet and had room for 50 musicians, which meant it could facilitate orchestral recordings and could be used for other activities such as video shoots.

At the time, they were the largest consoles that MCI had produced, and a hole in the factory wall was required to accommodate the extra length of the chassis.

The studio was designed by Keith Slaughter and constructed on the "floating" principle to ensure total sound insulation.

Upstairs there was a radio facility, which offered a studio and separate control room plus a lounge area.
