Analogue Catalogue  is a vintage analogue recording studio hidden away in the hills just twenty minutes east of Manchester city centre.

Crafted into a Victorian manor house, this boutique recording studio has three dedicated live rooms, a flat response control room and a myriad of natural acoustic spaces.

The gear list (in particular the Trident desk and 1930s Bechstein grand piano) is inspired by London's legendary Trident Studios, the environment by the yesteryear grandeur of Château d'Hérouville.

Our enviable collection of vintage analogue gear is lovingly maintained and operated by our respected, accomplished engineers. Coupled with a luxurious, relaxed and creative environment at Analogue Catalogue we can record classic sounding records expeditiously and with ease.

KING CREOSOTE & JON HOPKINS

Domino release the Jubilee Edition of Mercury nominated 'Diamond Mine' in April.

Released on CD and Limited Edition 12" Vinyl further information can be found at Domino Records' site.

ALLO DARLIN' - EUROPE
Allo Darlin' release their wonderful new album 'Europe' through Slumberland Records (US) and Fortuna Pop (UK) in May. Recorded last year at Analogue Catalogue, this record has already received a glowing review from Pitchfork and is Rough Trade's album of the month for May. An indie classic in waiting, this record will undoubtedly feature on lots of end of year lists. 'Europe' is sure to put Allo Darlin' on the er, map.

THE OFFSET:SPECTACLES
Vinyl editions of the Offset:Spectacles debut album have just landed at Analogue Catalogue towers. These analogue purists came from Beijing to record here and this record is fast becoming an underground word of mouth success...

 "This is the real deal — completely blown out guitars and organ, frantic breakdowns, hypnotic chord sequences, and some of the best Lou Reed-styled guitar I’ve heard in forever. From building repetition to wide open grooves, this thing is pure energy"
- Foxy Digitalis

Copies are available in the UK from Soft Power Vinyl

GUILE - ALONE ON THE WEST
Psychedelic wall of noise narco rockers Guile release their debut album 'Alone On The West' in June. Taking their cue from fellow Midlanders Spacemen 3, not to mention their illustrious Black Country forbears this is the heavist record recorded at Analogue Catalogue for some time. Rock on over to Guilemusic for more info
