On November 8th of 1971, David Bowie began recording the album Ziggy Stardust. The studio he chose for this project, Trident Studios in Soho, London, was starting to ride a long wave of #1 hits for artists like Manfred Mann, The Beatles and Elton Johns. The list of songs that came afterwards, songs now recognized as classics, is even more impressive.

In Episode 20 of Bootlegs and Beers, I dive into the history of Trident Studios and showcase the artists and their songs, the engineers on the other side of the glass, and the gear that they all had at their disposal to create such iconic music.

Be on the lookout for BAB Ep. 20, due out in the coming days.
