Wrecking Crew member (and all around musician) Jim Gordon has died. Despite his mental and legal troubles, he was one of the youngest of the Wrecking Crew and, being the one who played the "plastic orange juice cups" I had always hoped that someone would find a way to interview him to find out a bit more about them.
I'm really hoping it isn't true, but a number of employees of United Recording (formerly Ocean Way, formerly United) are posting on Facebook that they have been let go and that United Recording has closed. Even worse, a few are posting that the current plan is the demolish the building and build some high-rise apartments.
It should be a crime to knock those studios down...
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I haven't seen it posted here yet, so in case you hadn't heard, Tommy Morgan (harmonica, the Wrecking Crew) has died at the age of 89.
