Eel Pie Recording Studios, formerly Oceanic, was a recording studio located on the banks of the River Thames in Ranelagh Drive, by Twickenham Bridge, west London.[1] Originally a 1960s boathouse, its riverside location allowed Pete Townshend to commute there by boat, having lost his driving licence. From 1981 the studios were run as a commercial operation and were the location for a number of notable rock and pop recordings. Artists who recorded at Eel Pie Studios include Pete Townshend, A-ha, Rachel Fuller and Michael Cuthbert. In the 1990s, the studio was occupied by the band Cocteau Twins, who called it September Sound, and The Lightning Seeds. Pete Townshend sold the studios in 2008 and the building is now a private house.
Eel Pie had earlier been used as the name for a series of Pete Townshend's home studios, where he recorded many song demos. His 1972 album, Who Came First , was recorded at home, as were some recordings by the Who circa 1970.
