Home with Recording Studio For Sale (1964)

“Only 25 minutes from New York City!” Download a HQ scan of the original 2-page real-estate flier (‘JD Levin & Associates’) advertising the ~1964 sale of the home of Les Paul and Mary Ford:

I pick up so many lots of ephemera from ancient studios and old-time producers and engineers that I have no idea where this came from, but it somehow ended up in the pile. My assumption is that someone picked it up at an AES show back in the mid sixties. It’s professionally printed on cardstock and AFAIK this item has never been interneted? Is that even a word? Anyhow, check it out, it’s pretty awesome. I am guessing 1964 as the sale date because the flier mentions 1962 as a renovation date and LP+MF were kaput by the end of ’64. HOME STUDIO. PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT. Wow.

Wow! Never heard/seen about this, thanks for posting! I remember hearing all the stories about the early homemade multitrack decks... Would love to know what the console is, maybe one from the RCA 3 track "Living Stereo" days?
