In the heart of Soho - Trident originally opened in 1968 and quickly became the probably most in-place to record, as launch pad for many legendary artists such as Elton John, Lou Reed, Genesis, Supertramp, and Black Sabbath.
Some of the world's most famous recordings have taken place here: David Bowie recorded many of his own albums here including Ziggy Stardust. The Beatles came here in 1968 to record Hey Jude. Some of the White Album tracks were also recorded here. Paul McCartney helped Queen on their road to success - he used to block-book the studio and not always turn up. Queen were allowed to use this down time for free and the result was Bohemian Rhapsody.
Trident stopped recording music in the mid 1980s, then in 1993 Trident Audio Post opened specialising in voice over recording.
