Five decades since our doors first opened and we still make legendary records.

electricladystudios

yesterday marked 20 years since i first arrived here to begin working, with no possible way of knowing all that would come next. what an incredible journey it has been — all traveled within the hallways and crannies of this building; all travelled to the greatest soundtrack ever.

just thank you. for all of it. - lee

“be groovy” - a little piece of our history has returned to us via this jimi hendrix signed menu from the generation club. the club became electric lady studios about two years later.

verified authentic, the autograph was obtained by a then 17 year old boy who was out late with his older brother in april of 1968: “hendrix just showed up there. my brother was dragging me out of the club to make midnight curfew so i grabbed the menus and a pen and ran over to him.”

fifty years later, they are back in the same space where the menu was signed and where once one could purchase a filet mignon and lobster tail combo for $5.25

happy birthday to this handsome guy. love you, @jackantonoff xx
