“Visiting RCA Studio B in Nashville can be an eerie experience because the place has changed so little since the early 1960s, when the American sound engineer Bill Porter recorded 150 tracks by Elvis Presley, including the Transatlantic chart-toppers “It’s Now or Never”, “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”, “Surrender” and “Good Luck Charm” on a then state-of-the-art three-track machine.”

From the London Independent newspaper on recording legend Bill Porter, who died this past July.
