The studio became well known as the place where many of the folk-rock acts signed to Joe Boyd's Witchseason publishing company, such as Fairport Convention, Nick Drake and John Martyn, recorded their albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but it was also the studio where early records by Pink Floyd, Elton John and Jethro Tull were made.
Frost left Levy's in September 1964 and began looking for premises for the studio while the pair raised funds to start the company.
[4] In 1970 during his early career as a session musician, Elton John recorded an album of songs written by the artists on Witchseason, as an attempt to make them more widely known through a more commercial style.
[5] The studio closed in 1976 when the lease on the building ran out and Frost and Wood were unable to purchase the property due to lack of funds.
[6] A documentary film about the studio, provisionally titled The Parts You Don't Hear and directed by Neil Innes and Nick Turner, is due for release in 2023.
