Compass Point Studios

Compass Point Studios was a music recording studio in the Bahamas, founded in 1977 by Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records.^[1] The concept of the studio was of a recording facility supported by in-house sets of artists, musicians, producers and engineers, all dedicated to a specific and recognisable sound and style. The session band at the studios, as well as visiting recording artists, became known as the Compass Point All Stars.

Located on the island of New Providence, 16 km west of Nassau, the studio attracted musical artists from around the world to record at its facilities during the 1970s and 1980s.^[2] AC/DC's Back In Black, the second highest selling album ever, was one of many albums recorded there.^[3] The studio closed in September 2010.
