The Place to Be

The Record Plant at 8456 W. 3rd Street, Los Angeles California opened on December 4th, 1969 with a grand opening party that featured a star studded cast of Hollywood's musical elite. Guests were invited with colorfully painted bricks that they presented for admission to the party. A Mason in a tuxedo fitted the bricks into a wall of the front office. The printing on the brick advertised "L.A.'s 1st Hunchy Punchy Recording Studios" and the dress code was "Bells and Ribbons, Satin and Spangles". The rest as they say "is history".
