A Brief (and I do mean brief) History of mobile studio with Helios consoles installed, and what they recorded.
I do believe this speaks for itself...
(and REMEMBER NO NEVES WERE USED! in the making of these records!)
Go figure

It's no co-incidence that the greatest drum sounds of all time, the final refinement of the classic Zeppelin & Bonham sound, the purest interpretation of The Who & Moonie's explosive, clattering Premier sound and the loose, thundering energy of the Faces, and Kenny's big Ludwig noise; were all captured and preserved in the Lane Mobile Studio. The really great records didn't make themselves. The LMS made them.
Other users of the studio include: Bob Marley, Jack Bruce, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Van Morrison, The Pretty Things, The Damned, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, John Lee Hooker, Keith & Ronnie, B.B. King, Dave Edmunds, Jeff Beck
Total sales of recordings from the LMS, around $500 million.
