Pathe-Marconi - A desk with a history.

Originally from EMI Pathe-Marconi studios in Paris, this Mk3 console is installed in songwriter/producer Terry Britten's "State of the Ark" studio in Richmond, southwest London.
While in Paris this console was used to record the Rolling Stones Grammy nominated album "Some Girls" and several tracks of the follow ups, "Emotional Rescue" and "Tattoo You" , notably the classic "Start Me Up", with Engineer Chris Kimsey.

The desk was manufactured with Light-Beam level indicators, which have since been replaced with modern VU meters. It's facilities have been further enhanced by the addition of a "sidecar" mini mixer, giving a further eight inputs. (See Separate Photo)
