   Tetlow’s Recording Studio was situated on or near to the end of the Stratford Road, near to the Birmingham Ring Road. In the days of 12 inch speakers of only 30 watts output it was a revelation to see and hear the 3 inch thick, yard square Quad Electrostatic speakers they had, which had an amazing range and purity. I was there when Ultra Sound recorded a demo there in 1969, for Dougie Thompson, who ran the Rainbow Suite. The demo was Dougie’s idea, as he said that he knew the Beatles from his days with The Rockin’ Berries, and he thought he may be able to get a recording deal through them. Dougie’s sudden death in an industrial accident around 2 weeks later ended that opportunity. Jimmy Tetlow was a young sound engineer working with the BBC at that time, but also had his studios. Some years later I saw the name James Tetlow, Sound Engineer on the credits of The Muppet Show, and presume it to be him. Animal must have been fun to record.
   I have a Tetlow’s record label somewhere, and will send a photo if I can find it.
