Beck studios is based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire and was originally established in 1969 by Derek Tompkins, who recorded some well known artists of the time including Helen Shapiro, Joe Brown and the Brothers, Bauhuas and Frank Ifield to mention a few. Freddie Mercury was also rumoured to have recorded at Beck during his Larry Lurex days.
Beck has remained a recording studio most of the time since under various owner/engineers and is still in the original building on the original site.
Nowadays, Beck boasts a full video and photography suite to compliment the recording studio. So band videos and photos can now be offered to make up a complete promotional package.
Although Beck recordings are now delivered on digital media, current owner Dave Smith still likes to use a retro approad to recording, using an analogue mixing desk, outboard effects microphones techniques and sound baffles, just like EMI did in the Apple Day's. (The studio is equipped with digital sequencing as well though.) Beck is remarkably unchanged since the 70's, that's the way the musicians who use it like it.
We are proud to announce we have a new toilet door.
