The golden age of the studio

The 1930s to the 1950s represented an important time where the studio system developed. The idea of a 'golden age' of the studio is a term borrowed from film history which notes that from the 1930s until the end of the 1950s, the studio system was the major force for creating cinema. In the music industry, a number of large studios including Abbey Road (1931) were opened to facilitate recording of a wide variety of musical styles. [more studio information needed]

Independent Studios

During the same period, a number of independent studios were created such as Sun Studio in Memphis. Opened in 1950 by Sam Phillips, the studio recorded Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats in 1951 which had a distinctive rock 'n' roll sound. Sun Studio was most famous for the recordings of Elvis.
