Reciprocal Recordings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reciprocal Recordings was the name of a recording studio in Seattle, Washington that was founded in 1984 and was abandoned in the mid-1990s. The studio specialized in grunge music, and was the site of many grunge recordings, most notably the album Bleach (Nirvana's debut album), Screaming Life (Soundgarden's debut album), and most Green River albums.
The studio was also the site of a Nirvana demo session on January 23, 1988, on which ten mostly new songs were recorded (most of the demos are now available on With the Lights Out and Outcesticide).
Jack Endino was the original studio owner. Rich Hinklin and Chris Hanzek worked closely under Endino, both often filling the role of a house producer. Terry Date was a frequent guest engineer and producer at Reciprocal. The studio's primary clientele was that from label Sub Pop Records.
The studio is now owned by Chris Walla and has been renamed The Hall Of Justice. It resides at 4230 Leary Way N.W. in the Ballard neighborhood.
