Fusion 45

Not to be confused with the famed American Recording Studios in Memphis, the North Hollywood-based American Recorders was on the cutting edge of technology, circa 1960, home to a broad range of Ampex and telefunken gear.

Mistakenly identified on the back of some records as American Recording Company, it was also the frequent home of producer Richard Podolor. As “Richie” Podolor, he was credited as “chief electrical engineer” on the Electric Prunes‘ I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night). Later, as “Richard” Podolor, he produced one of the most talented bands of the 1970’s, Three Dog Night.
