Roger Savage worked at Olympic Studios in London, where he had recorded demos with Mick Jagger and Dusty Springfield.
[5] Bill Armstrong said that Savage helped to train many engineers and producers at his studios, including engineers Allan Pay, Ernie Rose, John Sayers, and Graeme Owens, and producers Ian "Molly" Meldrum, Howard Gable, Robie Porter, and Ron Tudor.
[1] Savage engineered some of the most important Australian popular music recordings of the 1960s, including classic tracks by The Twilights, MPD Ltd, The Masters Apprentices, and Spectrum, as well as innumerable radio and TV commercials.
One of his earliest film credits was as an audio engineer on Getting Back to Nothing, Tim Burstall's documentary of the 1970 World Surfing Championships staged at Bells Beach, Victoria.
With this in mind, he and a business partner bought a vacant block of land in Bank Street, but owing to poor economic circumstances in the 1980s a new studio did not materialise.
