Independent label: I.B.C.
Studios Recording and mastering studios located in London. I.B.C. (International
Broadcasting Company) was an independent and commercial radio broadcaster. The
studios in 35 Portland Place were set up in the 1950s to originally record radio
broadcasts but soon became a recording studio, hired by bands and labels. Many
great engineers/producers came out of this studio,like,Glynn Johns,Damon
Lyon-Shaw,Andy Knight,Hugh Jones, Richard Mainwaring and Andy Miller,who all
worked on hundreds of famous records. In July 1978 the studios were bought out
by Chas Chandler and renamed to Portland Studios. The catalogue number of
the EPs was IBC/EP, LPs shared the same
numerical series but had a prefix of IBC/LP. Any singles would have
an 'IBC/S' prefix. In July 1978, Chas Chandler
bought the studios and renamed them Portland Recording Studios. The address was
also home to George Peckham's cutting rooms (Porky Prime Cuts) and Radiotracks
Studios, a company specialising in recording and producing radio commercials.
After running it for four years, in 1983 Chandler sold it to the controversial
music impresario Don Arden, (father of Sharon Osbourne, and father-in-law of
Ozzy Osbourne), installing son David Arden as manager. IBC Sound Recording
