161 images Created 31 Jan 2014

Compass Point Studios were founded in 1977 by Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records.
In the late 1970s and mid-1980s, many musical artists from across the world came to the Bahamas to record music at its facilities. Many producers, including Chris Blackwell himself, used the studio to produce recordings. AC/DC's Back In Black, the second largest selling album ever, was just one of the many albums recorded there. Other well-known artists who recorded there include: Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Serge Gainsbourg, The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones, Shakira, Celine Dion, U2, Robert Palmer, Thompson Twins, Tom Tom Club, Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Electric Light Orchestra, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton, James Brown, Iron Maiden, Roxy Music, Bonnie Tyler, The B-52's and David Bowie.
