Mountain Studios
Mountain Studios is a multi-track recording studio previously located inside Montreux Casino in Montreux, Switzerland,[1] but now located in Attalens. It was owned by Alex Grob and Anita Kerr until 1979,[2] when they sold it to the rock band Queen. David Richards, a long-time producer for Queen, bought it in 1995. Upon Richards' death in 2013, the location of the former studio became the charity museum/exhibition Queen: The Studio Experience, with the Mercury Phoenix Trust being the beneficiary.
