Trident Studios was a British recording facility, located at 17 St. Anne’s Court in London’s Soho district between 1968 and 1981. It was constructed in 1967 by Norman Sheffield, a drummer of former 1960’s group The Hunters, and his brother Barry.
Some well-known albums and singles recorded at Trident include The Beatles‘ White Album (although the recordings were largely done at Abbey Road Studios too) and Hey Jude, George Harrison‘s triple album All Things Must Pass, Elton John‘s Candle in the Wind and David Bowie‘s albums Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, and his legendary single Space Oddity.
From 1968-1981, some of the most reputed rock artists used the studios for their sessions, including Marc Bolan/T. Rex,Carly Simon, Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, Free, Genesis, Lou Reed, Joan Armatrading, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart, to name only a few.
It’s also great to see that French street artist Invader has been here before me and left his Space Invaders in the area!
