Hookend Recording Studios is a recording studio located in Hook End Manor, near Checkendon, Oxfordshire, England.[1]
The house was once owned by David Gilmour of the band Pink Floyd,[2] who used the studio to record parts of the band’s 1982 album The Final Cut.[2] The band’s inflatable pig, first used to promote their Animals album a decade earlier, was stored in one of the outbuildings.[3] The studio is now owned by Mark White singer/songwriter with the band Godnose.
The albums Gold Against the Soul by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers and The Cure's Disintegration and Mixed Up were both recorded here.
