CAPITOL RECORDS RECORDING DEPARTMENT TURNS 61
Capitol Records Recording Department was started on April 18, 1945 with Bill Miller as boss. Miller would, 21 years later, "prepare for release" The Beatles "Yesterday ...And Today" and "Revolver" albums. He was also an A&R and Producer. He was responsible for signing and producing Jackie Davis and producing sessions for June Christy, Benny Goodman, The Four Freshmen, Sebastian Temple, Warren Durrett and even co-produced Ted Cassidy's novelty record "The Lurch". The current manager is Paula Salvatore, who has guided the always busy Capitol Studios since 2001. Check out Capitol Studios' website for more information. There's also a great article about the Capitol Studios on the studio expresso website.
