Chalk Farm Studios

Recording and lacquer cutting studio in London, famed for its reggae productions (mainly for Trojan Records).

Originally founded as Emil Shallit, who renamed it after the Camden district where the studio was located. Keary installed a hand-made mixing desk, 8-track recorders, custom-designed drum boot and a mastering room on the floor above equipped with a Lyrec/Ortofon cutting lathe. The studio eventually became 24-track. It closed in 1982.

Personnel: Nick Hoare (3) (assistant).

Some records cut here can be identified by CFS or C.F.S. etched in the runouts. Additionally, cuts for Lyntone Recordings Ltd. can be identified by CF in the Lyntone matrix, e.g. "LYN 4536-1CF".
