Favored by musicians as diverse as AC/DC, The B-52's, Jimmy Buffett, Julian Lennon, Tricky, Shania Twain and the Chieftans, Compass Point has an established reputation as a state of the art recording studio. Originally founded in 1977 by Island Records owner Chris Blackwell, the studios experienced several years of decline in the late 1980s. In 1992, producers Terry and Sherrie Manning took over and after some major improvements and upgrades, the studios are fully functioning once again. While visitors are not permitted inside, it's kind of cool to see the place where so many fabulous musicians have recorded so many landmark albums. Plus, you never know who you might see coming out the front door!
