True ones please.
Samuel Goldwyn of Metro Goldwyn Mayer films is offically named Samuel Goldfish.
When he emigrated to the US from Poland, his actual name was Schmuel Goldfisz. The immigration officail misheard it as Samuel Goldfish which he remained for some years.

You’re right you know. Sorry about that.
I accidentally told a lie lie lie lie tell me why tell me why, why’d you have to lie?
I knew about the 2 Elvis Costello albums, I got the list of other albums recorded there from the Air studios website which erroneously lists the Pistols album there.
To make up for it here’s some more trivia about another studio not far from Wessex …
Elvis Costello recorded his debut album My Aim Is True at the tiny Pathway Studios which is on Grovesnor Avenue in Islington (near the Snooty Fox pub if you know that)
Damned Damned Damned & Madness’ The Prince were also recorded there.
It’s no longer a studio, these days it’s just a flat and the current resident is ex Only Ones frontman Peter Perrett. |
I didn't know the last bit about the resident...
Thanks
I always think it's funny that My Aim Is True was recorded in there, with Huey Lewis and the News; although they didn't have Huey, and were called Clover.
Although you're right that The Pretenders was recorded at Air, some of it was recorded at Wessex too.
A mate of mine who worked for BT at the time once carried his bag into Wessex, pretending to be on a call out, so as to have a look at the piano John Lydon was sick into... [Post edited 25 Apr 12:14]

Barry Manilow didn't write the song 'I write the songs (that make the whole world sing)' |
Elvis Costello released 'Every Day I Write the Book' in 1983.
His only book was published in 2015.
Assuming he was telling the truth in 1983, that's only just over 5 words per day... |  | | |

I sent a screen shot of that post to my mate. His response: Had a right old root around in there.
Followed by: I Also got a job on BT in their old flat in Denmark St.
Ditto.
Root around. | | | |
