The masterplan came from the genious duo Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from the legendary pop sensation ABBA, and their manager Stikkan Andersson. The idea: Instead of having to move around between different music studios throughout a production - assemble a studio which has the right gear, facilities and competence all in one place!.
.
The word spread rapidly in the music community. Led Zeppelin showed up already in December 1978 to record "In through the out door", and was followed by the likes of Roxy Music, Adam Ant, Ramones, Genesis, Pretenders, Backstreet Boys, Rolling Stones and almost every major Swedish musician for the past 20 years..
