A new crowdsourcing campaign has been launched in an attempt to save the recording console that was used to record Pearl Jam's Ten and Soundgarden's Louder Than Love. The console is housed at London Bridge Studios in Seattle and the studio's own Eric Lilavois spoke on the Neve brand desk with Rolling Stone:
"We came to the consensus that the Neve was simply too important to the Seattle music community to replace it," Lilavois said in a statement. "Rather than raise our studio rates and make the studio inaccessible to the local and global music community, we're inviting those interested in preserving this rich history to take part in the restoration and help ensure this board's accessibility for another 40 years."
Co-owner Jonathon Plumm added: "We're asking our community for support. The importance of the Neve and its historical significance can provide opportunities for generations of artists to come."
Supporters can contribute via Kickstarter.
