A&R Recording was a major independent studio recording company founded by [a=Jack Arnold] and producer [a=Phil Ramone] in 1958. A&R's equipment, most of it custom-built, was largely on wheels to facilitate movement from one studio to the next. The floors were made of a hard-looking but soft-feeling combination of concrete and vermiculite. [a=Burt Bacharach] called the studio his recording home through much of the 1960s (where he produced [a=Dionne Warwick], among others). From the 1970s there were four studios, two studios in each building, two in 7th Avenue (called A-1 and A2) and two in 48th Avenue (called R-1 and R-2; R-1 was Phil Ramone's room, he did most of his work there). One room at each location had a Neve and one room at each location had an Mci 500. A&R closed in 1989.
