The Cyclones Tossin’ and Turnin’ 7in single 1965 Australia Top Spot original
Original Australian pressing on Top Spot, with original company bag.
In the early 1960’s David Gibson built his first recording studio in what was an old retail shop in the Sydney, Australia, suburb of Hurstville.
David Gibson was both a musician, having played piano in his own rock group (The Wanderers) and a qualified electronics engineer and it was his knowledge in both these areas that made him decide to enter the music recording industry.
The Hurstville studio was called “Top Spot” studios, but was far better known as the “egg carton” studio, as its sound deadening was achieved by the hundreds of cardboard egg cartons that were glued to the studio’s walls and ceiling. The studio was also famous for its vocal booth --- the shop’s toilet, complete with flushing bowl.
David not only designed the acoustic treatment for the studio, but also designed and built all the electronics, including the tape recorders and console.
This studio, although only relatively small in dimensions, recorded many of the top Australian artists of the early 1960’s, including one group who later became one world’s most popular groups.
The studio also saw the birth of its own record company (Top Spot Records) and the first of many record releases on the Top Spot record label, the first release being “Tossin’ and Turnin’” by the Sydney group The Cyclones. This recording reached the top of a number of local radio charts. The label later moved to new studios and became 66Sound, then Copperfield.
The Cyclones were originally from Wangaratta, Victoria and featured Artie Campagno on vocals. Members included: Johnny Bisignano, Artie Campagno, Joe McWaters and Sammy Campagno. This was apparently the only recording they made.
