The Manor Studio (a.k.a. The Manor) was a recording studio in the manor house at the village of Shipton-on-Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, north of the city of Oxford. OverviewThe Manor and its outbuildings are listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England.[1] The Manor was the third residential recording studio in the United Kingdom. The first being Ascot Sound Studios built between 1970-1971 by John Lennon in an addition to his Tittenhurst Park mansion, where he recorded his Imagine album. The second being Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire.{{citation needed|date=June 2014}} The concept was pioneered in 1969 by French musician Michel Magne in the Château d'Hérouville. The manor house was owned by Richard Branson and used as a recording studio for Virgin Records, although artists signed to other labels also used the studios. The first officially released LP to be recorded there, while the studio was still being given its finishing touches in late 1971, was Let's Make Up And Be Friendly, a farewell reunion album by members of The Bonzo Dog Band. The most famous album to be recorded there was perhaps Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, during 1972–73 when Oldfield was given a week to record an LP at the studio. Vivian Stanshall, formerly of The Bonzo Dog Band, was recording his own first solo album there immediately afterwards, which led to his guest role as Master Of Ceremonies on Tubular Bells.[2] Sandy Denny also began her second solo album Sandy there in March 1972. In April 1995, after the takeover of Virgin Records by EMI, The Manor Studio was closed as a recording studio by EMI. It is now the country home of the Marquess of Headfort. In 2010, NME reported that the Manor was up for sale for £5.75 million.[3] Studio facilitiesThe facilities were advertised as follows, as of 1973:[4] {{col-begin|width=auto}}{{col-break}}16/8/4 track studio 60 minutes from London 100 acre grounds Resident engineers Resident cooks Room for producers, musician's partners, roadies Day and Night recording Free food and beds Good rates etc{{col-break}} 16 Track Ampex 20 Channel desk Equalization Dolby noise reduction Quadrophonic monitoring Phasing facilities Echo facilities: tapes/plates/springs/drums Grand piano Room for 40 musicians etc{{col-end}} Partial list of albums recorded at The Manor{{div col|colwidth=20em}}
