Didn't A&R (Phil Ramone) move into the old Columbia studio? Wasn't that studio space in use from the
acoustic era, starting with Brunswick, until A&R shut down in the late 70s or very early 80s?
I think Columbia had some sort of facility in the Black Rock CBS building. It might have been just
editing/mixing/production, not an actual recording room.
Finally, as I understand it, both Universal and Sony maintain small-scale mastering facilities in
NY. I think Kevin Reeves is the main guy at Universal and Mark Wilder is the main guy at Sony.
Sony's facility is called Battery Studios, I think.

Hi Steve,
I don't specifically know, but Wikipedia says they sold the 49 East 52nd St. building and moved in
1965.

Hi, Jon,
Do you remember when E 52d St was closed?

BMG closed their studios in 2001, and Sony closed theirs in 2007. A small
remnant of Sony Studios still exists.

When did Columbia (CBS-SONY) and RCA (BMG) sell their recording studios?
