R.G. Jones is one of the longest running studios in Britain. The facility was located at Morden Manor when Jimmy Page was there with Chris Farlowe (it was moved to Wimbledon in 1969 where it operated until 2001). The studio produced demo records for the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Springfields, Englebert Humperdink, Tom Jones, the Bee Gees and others.Jimmy Page's On This Day says the studio session happened in 1960 and in 1961, depending on which On This Day you are looking at. However, let's go with 1961. Page, at that point 17 years old, would go on to work for Immediate Records for several years as the label's in-house producer.
Chris Farlowe sang on three tracks from Jimmy Page's Death Wish II soundtrack (1982), as well as Hummingbird, Prison Blues and Blues Anthem on Page's album Outrider (1988).
Farlowe is considered by some to be one of the most underrated British soul & blues influenced singers ever. I consider Outrider to be one of the most underrated albums ever.
