Actually they don't, unless they are sick and can't defend themselves. The elephants size scares them off. Just think of tigers as an over aggressive Colonel Parker, but cooler.Kingtiger -
Nice to see your interest in elephants, but don't tigers attack them ?

Re: 1968 western recorders 68 special sessions
These pictures below of Elvis taken at Western Recorders on June 23rd,1968 are pretty common now.
This one, not so much though.
And THIS.....
Well, new to me (different day) and from Steve Binder's "Elvis : 68 at 40 Retrospective" book published by JAT in 2008. I was looking at the studio, seeing if there was anyone to recognize, and, there was Elvis. Complete with his slip-on shoes, white trousers and wearing glasses. Cool....!
Now called EASTWEST Recording studios, it's quite a place these days complete with a luxury VIP room, they can even supply you with a massage and a facial.
Elvis used Studio One
It would have looked more like this though 44 years ago.
Western Recorders Studio, 6000 West Sunset Boulevard Hollywood, California 90028 - circa 1966
Here is a small list of these who have recored there, they include: Would Elvis had ever thought his 5 month year old daughter would ever record there in the furture?
Blondie,Buffalo Springfield,Burt Bacharach,Beach Boys,Glen Campbell,Canned Heat,Vickie Carr,Carpenters,Johnny Cash,Ray Charles,Petula Clark,Ry Cooder,Elvis Costello,Nat King Cole,Duane Eddy,Jan & Dean,Joe Cocker,Sam Cooke,Bing Crosby,Bobby Darin,Sammy Davis Jr.,Jackie DeShannon,Duke Ellington,Neil Diamond,Bob Dylan,Ellla Fitzgerald,Grateful DeadHerbie Hancock,Hawaii Five-O theme,Don Ho,Whitney Houston,Howlin’ Wolf,Ike & Tina Turner,Isley Brothers,Michael Jackson,Elton John,,Carole King,Kris Kristofferson,Franky Laine,K.D. Lang,Godfather Theme,Peggy,Madonna,Mamas & the Papas,Dean Martin,M*A*S*H theme,Johnny Mathis,Meatloaf,Paul McCartney,Monkees,Rick Nelson,Willie Nelson,Wayne Newton,Harry Nilsson,Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,Pointer Sisters,Iggy Pop,Elvis Presley,Lisa Marie Presley,Billy Preston,Red Hot Chili Peppers,Kenny Rogers,Rolling Stones,Ronnie & the Ronettes,Bonnie Raitt,R.E.M.Righteous Brothers,Diana Ross,Sonny & Cher,Phil Spector,Carly Simon,Frank Sinatra,Nancy Sinatra,Bruce Springsteen,Steppenwolf,Rod Stewart,Barbra Streisand,Temptations,The Animals,The Four Tops,The GoGos,The Kingston Trio,The O’Jays,The Who,Mel Torme,Richie Valens,Stevie Wonder,Turtles,& the Young Rascals,

So, if you have a couple of extra dollars, its still a working studio, go in and take a shot of "If I Can Dream"

Two thoughts:
(1) Would you post this up as a new topic? It deserves it!
(2) Would you upload your larger images as attachments?
That way they don't wreck the dimensions of the forum, as you may see below:

Re: 1968 western recorders 68 special sessions
Seriously, how much is an hour? It doesn't look cheap. But wow! To be there . . . absolutely chilling. If it was within reason, at some point, I'd like to just bring a guitar and bang out "Let Yourself Go"! (Can't go wrong, really, with that one! )Julian Grant wrote: http://jerrygarciasbrokendownpalaces.blogspot.com/2012/06/western-recorders-6000-west-sunset-and.html

And yes, of course, the roster is impressive. I guess, because it's such wonderful condition, they don't need to do museum tours. (To-do list: restring guitar.)

P.S. -- Julian, if they're high enough resolution, they are automatically clickable, sometimes twice, because it zooms later. I don't know the exact numbers. There is a limit, though: you can't upload, like 14 MB files, but normal hi-res files just do that - I don't know the resolution number.

Have you ever heard of the "Venus" label?
Give this one a listen.

NEVER knew such a record existed! (mouth standing open) I think I'd consider trading a foot for that! I think I know where to look, though. THANK YOU!

(Yes I have "Let Yourself Go." Which means all of what I saw is not coming out through above-board.)

Re: 1968 western recorders 68 special sessions
I missed out on the CD boot era. Long story. I just didn't know how to correctly utilize the 'net, I guess. There were a lot of personal distractions and BMG/Sony and then FTD seemed to offer waterfalls of thrilling stuff. I was still listening to my vinyl boots.

Remember, I had dial-up 'till late LAST YEAR.
So, yeah, I missed a lot.

Re: 1968 western recorders 68 special sessions
While we are on this topic, there are a lot of takes from the NBC sessions from June 30th that have never been on CD, a few takes of various songs appeared on the Golden Archives LP/CD 'The 68' Comeback'.
I made my own cd-r of these sessions with the audio lifted from the complete DVD set.

Re: 1968 western recorders 68 special sessions
Julian Grant's post is fantastic, but for those answering the topic: this is from 2005. No Venus label back then.
So yes, I'm sure we heard of Venus in 2012.
