Corona Films Lydstudier

Corona Films Lydstudier (sometimes referred to as Corona Studiet) was the sound recording studio of the Danish film company Corona Film A/S. Operating from May 1st 1965 to late 1966, it was located in a villa in Jersie Strand, south of Copenhagen. Owners were Leif Jul and Ib Andreasen. Engineer (tonemester) was Jerry Katz, former engineer at the pirate radio station Radio Mercur. The studio was one of the most advanced at that time. In 1965 the studio was used by Rhapsody Records (2) for recordings specialising in sound effects. Corona Film was from 1966 affiliated with Ecco Records (2) co-owned by Erik Haaest and Leif Jul and used for recording all releases on Ecco Records in 1966.
