Rockfield Studios, near Monmouth in Wales and just outside the village of Rockfield, are where many of British rock music’s most successful recordings have been made. The studios were founded by brothers Kingsley and Charles Ward in 1963, by converting an existing farmhouse.[1] In 1965, they became the world's first-ever residential studio, set up so that bands could come and stay in the peaceful rural surroundings to record. They have two studios, the Coach House and the Quadrangle. The first big hit recorded in the studios was Dave Edmunds' "I Hear You Knocking" in 1970. Following that success, the studios were used in the early 1970s to record seven albums by Budgie, several by Hawkwind, Peter Hammill's second solo album Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night in 1973, Ace's hit single "How Long?" in 1974, and Queen's album Sheer Heart Attack. In August 1975, Queen returned to Rockfield to begin recording the album A Night At The Opera, including the first vocals for "Bohemian Rhapsody". Later in 1975, Motörhead made their first recordings at the studios.[1] Other acts using the studios in the late 1970s and 1980s included Rush, Ian Gillan, Black Sabbath, The Stranglers, Iggy Pop, Simple Minds, Bad Manners, Echo & the Bunnymen, Adam and the Ants, Robert Plant,[2] Clannad, and The Stone Roses.[1] Since 1990, other leading acts using the studios have included XTC, The Boo Radleys, Oasis, Black Grape, Ash, The Bluetones, Oceansize, Julian Lennon, Coldplay, New Order, Big Country, Starsailor, The Darkness, Supergrass, The Pogues, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers, Sepultura, KT Tunstall, and Kasabian. During a 12-month period in 1996-97, Rockfield sessions resulted in five UK Number One albums, by Oasis, Black Grape, The Charlatans and the Boo Radleys. [edit] References
