With all those hit records, why were the SS owners so financially strapped? Did they not own the building, did they mortgage whatever they had there or was there just not much money in running a (rundown) studio? In a cosmic sense, maybe it was just meant to be a happy accident that helped people make good sounding hit records that big $$ for labels, producers and artists.
One thing these guys forget about tech is it helps people that are less fortunate, financially, to create.. I can't afford the analog gear, should I have to be wealthy to get into music or was that the gatekeeper?
Best statement in the movie: Tom Petty "Music isn't really supposed to be perfect. Music must come from the soul." And from the soul is where we get emotions, and are they perfect? Only in music can the sum of the parts be greater than the whole. That's the magic of music, and without it, life would be a mistake.
Great movie, great story. And through all the people and musicians, the man that made it all happen didn't work at the studio, but he placed his heart there: Rupert Neve. Without him Rock and Rock, and Sound City would have never been what it was and is today. And of course, Dave for making this movie and telling the wonderful story behind Sound City. Thanks!
I was working outside of this building when one of the staff told me about the history of the building. I'm glad just to be standing close to it knowing now how many greats have been here. Thank you Joe for letting me know.

Sound City and the one about Tower Records are 2 of the best documentaries on YouTube.

I have a bunch of old Neve modules from a Neve console. Neve 1066’s, 1073’s, 1064’s, 1272’s. If anyone wants to sell me some I’d buy a bunch more!
