RUSH - Legendary Le Studio Could Be Yours For $18,000
June 16, 2015, 8 years ago
If you were a fan of Rush in the early 80s, you’ll remember the video below for their hit, “Tom Sawyer”. This clip was shot where it was recorded: Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec. At the time, it was a state-of-the-art facility that not only held Rush in its thrall – seven Rush albums were made there, earning the place the nickname “Rush’s Abbey Road”. But it was more than just them; Le Studio also attracted clients like David Bowie, The Police, Keith Richards, Bryan Adams and the Bee Gees.
Reports Alan Cross for A Journal Of Musical Things: “Sadly, the place fell into deep, deep disrepair and is now a hunk of junk. It was put up for sale in 2008 but with no takers over seven years, you can see why things have become rather, well, desperate. The good news? If you’re handy with a hatchet, axe and saw (as well as a toolkit and any number of power tools) you can buy Le Studio for your very own for the low, low price of $18,000. Yes, that’s eighteen thousand dollars. The town of Morin Heights is set to put the building up for auction on Wednesday (June 17th) with that as the starting bid.”
