There's a couple of nice pics of Les at Grosvenor Studios
surrounded by lots of bits of tron and tape making equipment on
Kean's site. Is this where most of the tron recording sessions were
done?

"you mean one of those things that has all the tapes?"\u000f
i had him sign all my japanese box set thunderbird laserdiscs.\u000f

And do you know where the SFX for those programmes were
made?\u000e None other than Grosvenor Studios in B'ham where a lot of
the Rime takes were done.\u000e We initially started to make tapes at
Grosvenor before getting kitted out ourselves.\u000e John Taylor is
credited on Thunderbirds, Stingray and Fireball.\u000e He was Les
Bradley's closest friend and is now over 80 years old.\u000e The last of
the the true masters of analogue recording and a nice bloke.\u000f
